Patek Philippe Pocket Watches 973

Patek Philippe's Pocket Watch 973J-001 is a Lépine-style piece in yellow gold, measuring 44.1 mm across and 7.77 mm thick. The winding crown sits at 12 o'clock, in keeping with the traditional Lépine layout, and the case has a notably slender profile. A sapphire crystal covers the silver dial, which carries applied yellow gold numerals and matching hands. The manual-winding calibre 17''' LEP PS drives the watch, offering small seconds and a power reserve of at least 50 hours. Patek Philippe finishes the movement with the Patek Philippe Seal, a mark reserved for its own workshops. The dial's vertical satin finish sets off the numerals against the silver background. Humidity and dust protection is built into the case, but Patek Philippe does not rate it for water resistance.
