Watches and Accessories 
This massive, 52 mm beautifully preserved hunting case Patek Philippe repeater is the kind of watch you can keep in your family for generations. Many older collectors I have the pleasure of knowing recall the days of their youth listening to their grandfather’s minute repeaters. It’s an audible experience that becomes indelible in one’s mind. And this experience continues to this day as the present generation is being introduced to these antique marvels. Few hunter case Patek Philippe minute repeaters were made in the early 20th century due to their cost and the fashion of the times that leaned towards open face watches. This watch is a perfect presentation of the art of case making, dial making and of course the movement. The large 19 lignes caliber is of exceptional quality and features a Guillaume balance, the brilliant temperature compensation balance invented by Dr. Charles Edoard Guillaume. For the collector looking to add a minute repeater to a collection, this watch is for you. It is also the perfect gift for the modern Patek Philippe collector that already has it all.
