What is RARE?
Rare is a word that is often overused and sometimes abused. But on a rare occasion you come across a timepiece is that truly rare, a watch that is eminently worthy of that term. Here is one such watch.
A Patek Philippe grande et petite sonnerie pocket watch, circa 1914 - wow.
The owner of this magnificent pocket watch is also the owner of these three watches ; the phrase "museum quality collection" comes to mind. Many thanks to the owner for sharing it with us. Watch out for an interview with the owner soon.
