Its 48mm white gold case exudes a distinguished presence, while the meticulously crafted Caliber 17’’’ SAV PS movement hums with the quiet confidence of enduring quality.

DescriptionThe Patek Philippe Pocket Watch Reference 980G is a timepiece that adheres to the exacting standards of the Patek Philippe Seal. This prestigious hallmark signifies that the watch has been produced in accordance with stringent quality criteria encompassing both its mechanical performance and its finish. The Ref. 980G is crafted from 18-karat white gold, a precious metal prized for its beauty and resistance to corrosion. The case measures 48mm in diameter and 9.9mm in thickness, dimensions that ensure the watch possesses a substantial presence on the wrist. The case is complemented by a white gold chain, adding a touch of sophistication and facilitating the secure carrying of the timepiece.

The Ref. 980G is powered by the manually wound Caliber 17''' SAV PS movement. This caliber embodies the rich heritage of Patek Philippe watchmaking, having been meticulously engineered and assembled to deliver exceptional timekeeping precision. The movement boasts a diameter of 38.65mm and a thickness of 3.8mm, showcasing its impressive thinness for a pocket watch caliber. Furthermore, the Caliber 17''' SAV PS comprises 137 meticulously finished components, each one contributing to the watch’s reliable operation. Seven bridges ensure the stability of the movement, while 18 jewels strategically placed throughout the caliber minimize friction and enhance wear resistance.

One of the most captivating aspects of the Caliber 17''' SAV PS movement is its captivating rhythm. It operates at a frequency of 18,000 vibrations per hour (2.5 Hz), a traditional rate that strikes a balance between timekeeping accuracy and power reserve. The movement is equipped with a Breguet balance spring, a hallmark of exceptional watchmaking that contributes to the watch’s superior rate regulation. The Caliber 17''' SAV PS delivers a minimum power reserve of 50 hours, ensuring the watch will continue to function for over two days after being fully wound. The Ref. 980G features a silvery opaline dial that provides a perfect canvas for the applied Breguet-style numerals. These numerals, crafted from gold, exude a timeless elegance that complements the overall classic aesthetic of the timepiece. The dial also incorporates a subdial for displaying the seconds, a functional complication that enhances the watch’s usability.
