The Patek Philippe Naviquartz clocks were originally meant for use on ships and yachts, but quickly became a status symbol for one’s desk. The Naviqartz III was designed specifically for home and office use and includes a presentation panel with its three-part mahogany case. Henri Stern had an early ref. 1215 engraved with his name and the date May 1, 1974.
The Naviquartz III was made from 1972 through the mid-1980s.
