Skeletonized Patek Philippe caliber 17”’ movements are extremely rare and this example has specifications that suggest it may be a unique example. The Ref. 912 is set with diamonds and a pearl-set band, making this watch both a masterpiece of the jeweler and the watchmaker. The pearl-set bezel of the present lot harkens back to the Swiss tradition of watches made specifically for the Chinese market.
