The Patek Philippe Reference 928 "Pendule Carrée" is a historically significant solar-powered desk clock, first launched in 1962. It represents an era where Patek Philippe blended 19th-century mechanical movements with mid-20th-century photoelectric technology. Features a mechanical Caliber 17'''250 with 18 or 29 jewels. It uses a conventional lever escapement electrically wound by a micro-motor, which is powered by an accumulator charged by the solar cells.A photoelectric cell (solar panel) mounted on the top of the case provides the power. This lot is located in Chicago.

Overall Condition: Light scratching and wear to metal throughout consistent with age and use. Some dust trapped in dial. The clock sets and runs at the time of cataloguing but has not been timed for accuracy.
