There doesn't seem to be much of interest in, or market for, these earlier watches, which is a shame. They represent the history of the brand. On the flip side, it makes them more obtainable for old geezers like me.  |
Well, Al, as someone who loves pocket watches(my favorite is my Pa. Keystone), let me tell you...that watch is a knockout!
when I was at the Lexington, Kentucky, GTG, this past June, the owner of the shop where we gathered to view watches, showed me his private collection of Patek pocket watches....wonderful. take care!
