Lot Essay

Considered perhaps the most desirable and attractive of Patek Philippe’s electronic clocks, this model with blue panels was made in very small quantities circa 1972. According to our research the present clock is only the second example to be offered publically at auction and the only example so far known with the 1000N type movement rather than the 1000E type usually found in this range of quartz clocks.

An identically decorated clock with blue panels is in the Patek Philippe Museum, Geneva. See: Patek Philippe Watches, Volume II, Patek Philippe Museum, p. 401
