This elegant and unusual bracelet watch by Patek Philippe captures the refined spirit of the late 1930s. Crafted entirely in 18k yellow gold, the integrated case and bracelet present a seamless, jewel-like design that balances horology and haute design.
The 22 mm round case houses a manually wound rectangular caliber, a surprising caliber used that is ‘hidden’ within the case and bracelet. Its silvered dial, accented by applied gold indexes and Art Deco numerals, maintains a classic and understated appeal, protected under a rounded sculptural crystal. With a bracelet length of 6 inches, this watch was designed to function as both timepiece and ornament, reflecting Patek Philippe’s mastery in creating jewelry watches for a discerning clientele.
