Patek Philippe World's Columbian Exposition Chicago (World’s Fair) 1893 Pocket Watch in 18K Gold
This is a very special and important Patek Philippe pocket watch dating to 1893 produced for the World's Columbian Exposition Chicago. This was the first year Patek Philippe became a jury member of the World's Columbian Exposition.
The dial is phenomenal. It features the original glass crystal which has some scuffs. The case measures 51mm in diameter. It features “Wolf’s Teeth” gearing.
We do not know the service history, but it is running well. It does not include box and papers.
