Patek Philippe Minute Repeater Split Chronograph with Register
Extremely fine and rare Patek Philippe 18K gold minute repeater split second chronograph
with register circa 1894.
Handsome white enamel dial with red and black markings and fancy gold hands. Plain
polish case with chronograph button in the crown and second chronograph button and
recessed repeater slide in the band. Beautiful estimated 34 jewel nickel movement with
the chronograph works on the back plate. Signed by the maker on the case, dial and
movement. Excellent example.
When activated this watch chimes the time to the nearest minute with loud
clear tones. This watch is also able to time two events and record elapsed minutes.
When one button is depressed the chronograph
starts. When the other button is depressed the chronograph hand splits and one of the
hands stops. The other hand continues until the first button is pushed. A final push
returns the hand to zero.
