1890's PATEK PHILIPPE For JAQUES & MARCUS NY POCKET WATCH ST GEORGE THE DRAGON

Description: Description & Specifics Very rare and desirable pocket watch. Running, sets and keeps time. I have no service history on this vintage timepiece. Watch measures 32mm in diameter and is 17.5mm thick including crystal. I just added a plexiglass crystal that was brand new. It came with a glass one originally. The dial is very nice. The movement is marked Jacques & Marcus, made by Patek Philippe. Very rare and collectible. Patek Phillippe for Jacques & Marcus New York .During the late 19th century, this was the luxury bon voyage gift of choice for a loved one that was about to travel across the seas. This pendant watch from 1890 is an exceptional example of one of Patek Philippe’s ‘St. George’ engraved watches. The bezel states in Latin SECVRIT IN TEMPESTATE (safety in the storm) the outer engraving features St. George slaying the dragon surrounded by the motto GEORGIVS EQVITVM PATRONVS .’ (St George, Patron of the Knights)..Inside the case depicts a scene from the Bible (Mark 4:36) Jesus and his disciples are crossing the Sea of Galilee in a boat when a great storm arises. Unmoved, Jesus sleeps in the back of the boat until the terrified men wake him. A few words from Jesus and all is well again, accompanied by the silent question 'where is your faith, men?' In other words, it is a moment of “safety in the storm.” Product Purchase with confidence. Experienced seller w/ top rated reviews and products. Ask questions if you have them first, then bid.
