European Watch Clock and Jewellery Fair 1991 BF 229
This complex, multifunction “complications” design from Patek Philippe is fitted with a 27-jewel selfwinding mechanical movement. Its perpetual calender shows the day of the week, the date, the month, the phases of the moon and even February 29 on leap years. Two subdials respectively display the leap-year cycle and the position of the current year; and the four parts of the day over a 2k-hour time span : morning, afternoon, evening and night. The minute repeater’s two-gong chimes strike, on request, the hours, quarters and minutes. Gold hour circle on a gold dial covered in opaline silver and fitted with Dauphine style hands. 18K gold case with four correctors for setting the perpetual calendar. (PATEK PHILIPPE)
