292-4358 Pocket watch/dress watch: extremely rare Patek Philippe ‘Gilbert Albert’ with original Gay Frères watch chain, ca. 1960
Approx. 35 x 35 mm, total weight ca. 52 g, 18K gold, case with corded edge matching the original chain, Ref. 784/2493, hand-wound, Calibre 10-200, silvered sector dial, gold hands, excellent original condition, in working order. Patek Philippe’s Reference 785 was produced only from 1960 to 1964 in 18K yellow or rose gold. The case was crafted by F. Baumgartner, whilst the design was created in 1959 by the brilliant designer Gilbert Albert, whose unique works are equally sought after by collectors and museums alike. Patek Philippe brought the young Geneva-based jewellery designer Gilbert Albert on board in 1955; the aim of this collaboration was to create a range of unusual and eye-catching watches. Albert was an exceptionally talented artist with a passionate affinity for modern art, such as the works of Brancusi and Mondrian; the unusual and daring cases he created for Patek Philippe continue to fascinate the viewer today just as much as they did on the day of their creation.
