Catalogue Essay
The present “Murat-style” dress watch is fresh to the market and is accompanied by its original fitted presentation box and certificate of origin. In lovely condition, it is highlighted by the black enamel decoration to the case bezel, back and band with a crisp monogram reading “HEH” to the center. The pocket watch was the standard for timekeeping in the late 19th and early 20th century, and the present timepiece is an excellent example of the style and design Patek Philippe produced during this period.
