Patek Philippe produced a small group of Carillon minute repeaters. The carillon feature, with its extra hammer and gong, is considered an additional complication required to fit into the same space as Patek’s regular minute repeating calibre movements. The last known example, No 198377, was produced in 1935.

The certificate includes a hand written note dating the receipt of the watch to 15 February 1913 in New York, with a purchase price of $470.
