The cuvette of this watch states that Patek Philippe made it for Eusebio Güell. Research shows that, from 1874 to 1889, Patek Philippe perpetual calendar movements were all slightly different from each other as the company worked towards perfecting the complication. Consequently, watches with perpetual calendars made during the 1874-1889 period can all be considered unique.
