Another head-turner is an antique 18K Tiffany & Co minute repeater chronograph by Patek Philippe, rendered as a full hunter case pocket watch. Tiffany & Co. and Patek Philippe have their own dedicated camps of collectors; when a timepiece bearing both brand name reaches the market, bidding can become intense, to say the least. This handsome example features a dust cover with an engraving that dates the watch to 1886. It is described as being in excellent condition. Its winding movement has been tested and found to be working well, and its crystal shows no scratches. It carries an estimate of $36,000-$43,000.
