Patek Philippe military watches are considered extremely rare and collectable. This watch was originally accompanied by a cable which could be attached via a hole in the chronograph pusher to the stem, thereby allowing the chronograph mechanism to be activated from a distance. This is an especially rare example used for military purposes. The movement of this watch was made in 1907 and encased in 1935.

Signed: Patek Philippe & Co Genève
