A gentlemen’s timepiece that fits right in your palm, the Patek Philippe reference 865 began production in 1969 until the 1990s. A homage to the tradition of hunting case pocket watches, the ref. 865 is a four-piece case sized at 47.5mm in diameter with yellow and white gold. During its two decades of production, approximately 220 cases have been created by Master casemaker Favre-Perret denoted by the 115 hammer mark stamped on the inner caseback. The collection spanned across a vastly decorated range of beautiful miniature scenes, medallions, champlevé patterns and engravings.
With a gentle push of the pusher encapsulated by the oval bow reveals a clean white lacquered dial decorated with refined elongated roman numerals. The highlight falls directly to the cathedral hands that sophisticatedly defines the time of this Patek Philippe creation. Powered by the manual wound caliber 17-170 stamped with the Geneva seals, the present well-preserved example of the ref. 865 is rather discreet with both faces remaining blank canvases. Perhaps a perfect timepiece with plenty of room for its new owner to decorate, or to be kept as minimal and classy as it is, this hunting case pocket watch also come with its Certificate of Origin and presentation box dating this back to 1984. The present Patek Philippe ref. 865 in yellow gold is the 26th example publicly known in the market.
