Description
1940's PATEK PHILIPPE Vintage Ladies 18K Rose Gold and Ruby Watch with Famous Provenance

Extremely Fine & Rare - All Original - Famous Provenance - 1 Year Warranty

We are proud to offer today this extremely fine and rare ladies Patek Philippe from 1930's made for Los Angeles' most prominent retailer Brock & Co.

With its dramatic dimensional triangular case and which has a significant curve to fit the wrist, it showcases a distinctive and seldom seen style from Patek Philippe. The boldness of the design is all the more pleasant and interesting given that Patek Philippe tended toward more restrained designs.

Its case and clasp are set with seven original factory step cut rubies that weight approximate 1.4 carats total weight. The rubies have a beautiful tone. As one would expect Patek spared no expense in crafting this watch so both the case and bracelet are heavy in gold, though not at all burdensome to wear.

Besides the wonderful case, the dial has an extremely unusual design which we have only seen before on one other Patek despite having seen thousands.

It is salmon colored, complementing the rose gold case, and has holes that serve as the markers at all of the lesser hours. The holes of the dial show through to the movement plate underneath that creates the effect of "markers." The primary hours have traditional applied markers in a square shape. The clasp of the band attaches at the top end of the case. Even the crown is unique and unlike any other we have seen on a Patek.

It truly is an exceptional Patek which has really captured our hearts. Our photos couldn't begin to do it justice.

The original case made for Patek and Brock & Co. bears correct stamping. Given that this is a jeweler specific piece it likely was made in very small numbers. We have not seen another example. A brief article on Brock & Co. can be found here and many others can be found online. In its heyday Brock & Co. was called "The Tiffany of the West." Their flagship store was in a gorgeously designed building on 7th and Olive in downtown L.A., and they had a second retail showroom at the luxurious Beverly Wiltshire hotel in Beverly Hills. Tiffany and Co. even approached Brock's to do a merger to become Tiffany-Brock & Co.

The watch comes from the estate of Academy Award winning cinematographer Gregory Tolland, and the watch is fitting for the wife of someone with a world-famous eye for beautiful aesthetics. Mr. Tolland's daughter Lothian married the legendary comic Red Skelton. We are currently offering several of Mr. and Mrs. Skelton's watches.
