An exceptional example of haute horology, this Patek Philippe pocket watch seamlessly integrates a minute repeater, perpetual calendar, and the rare complication of the equation of time. Retailed by Beyer in Zurich in 1982, one of the world’s oldest and most prestigious watch retailers, this timepiece embodies the pinnacle of Swiss watchmaking craftsmanship.

The equation of time, a highly sophisticated complication, displays the difference between mean solar time—our conventional civil time—and true solar time, which is based on the actual position of the sun. Due to the Earth's elliptical orbit and axial tilt, this discrepancy fluctuates throughout the year, ranging from approximately -15 to +15 minutes. This feature allows the wearer to appreciate the natural variation in the length of a day, a function prized by astronomers, navigators, and connoisseurs of horological precision.

Housed in a finely crafted 18ct gold case, the watch’s meticulously finished movement exemplifies Patek Philippe’s dedication to both mechanical ingenuity and aesthetic refinement. With its harmonious blend of complications, historical significance, and the prestige of both Patek Philippe and Beyer, this timepiece represents a masterpiece of horology, highly sought after by collectors.
