Chronograph Breguet Numerals Patek, Philippe & Cie. , Genève, No. 174280, case No. 405919. Made in 1916, sold on January 31st, 1931. Extremely fine and very rare, 18K yellow gold hunting-cased keyless pocket watch with chronograph and instantaneous 30-minute register. Accompanied by the original fitted wooden box and the Extract from the Archives. Four-body, "bassine", polished. Hinged gold cuvette. Notes The Extract from the Archives states that this watch originally had a dial with Roman numerals when it was made in 1916. However, the watch was not sold until 1931 and the buyer asked Patek Phillipe to fit the watch with its present, very beautiful, dial with Breguet numerals, though the transformation was not recorded at the time.
