With an Extract from the Archives confirming sale of the movement and dial in 1881. The Extract notes that it was sold without the case.The style of pocket watch with regulator-type dial was made for American custom order timepieces in the early 1880s. The watches typically feature the movement number on the dial and the name of the retailer. Less than five examples are known to the market with this dial configuration and contract hunter case. For a similar example, see Huber, M. & Banbery, A., Patek Philippe Watches, Second Edition, p. 190.
