Around the time of the 1867 Paris World Exhibition, the Patek Philippe manufacture produced a small collection of early perpetual calendar watches. According to research the present watch is the 9th oldest to have survived from this collection. The configuration of the dial is very rare and distinctive as it is unusual to find a Patek Philippe pocket watch with perpetual calendar and moon phases only.

Perpetual calendar pocket watches of the same period are illustrated in H. Hubert & A. Banberry, Patek Philippe Genève, edition 1982, p. 203.
