Pocket watches are widely regarded as the pinnacle of Patek Philippe's watchmaking expertise, representing an era when exceptional craftsmanship, high-quality materials, and intricate mechanical movements were paramount. Although pocket watches are considered rare in today’s world, they hold significant historical value in the evolution of watchmaking and should not be overlooked.
