Quick TakeThis Patek Philippe Pocket Watch Hunter Case Ref. 980R exudes an air of old-world sophistication. The substantial rose gold case feels luxurious in your hand, and the polished finish gleams like a captured ray of sunlight. Open the hunter case and you’re greeted by a symphony of mechanical artistry – a silvery opaline dial with classic Breguet numerals and slender spade hands that seem to dance in time. A closer look reveals a subdial for the seconds nestled discreetly at the 6 o’clock position, a subtle reminder of the watch’s unwavering precision. This isn’t just a timepiece, it’s a conversation starter, a tangible connection to a bygone era of impeccable craftsmanship. Slip it into your waistcoat pocket and you’ll carry not just a watch, but a legacy.

DescriptionThe Patek Philippe Pocket Watch Hunter Case Ref. 980R is a luxurious timepiece crafted from 18 rose gold. The case measures 48mm in diameter and just 9.9mm in height, making it a substantial pocket watch that is comfortable to carry. The case is polished to a mirror finish and features a spring hinge that allows the front cover to snap open securely. The front cover is made of the same rose gold as the case and has a polished finish. The back cover is also made of rose gold and features a polished finish. The case is not water resistant and should not be submerged in water or exposed to excessive moisture.

The movement of the Patek Philippe Pocket Watch Hunter Case Ref. 980R is the manually wound caliber 17’’’ SAV PS. This movement is a testament to Patek Philippe's commitment to traditional watchmaking techniques. The caliber 17’’’ SAV PS is a small movement for a pocket watch, measuring just 38.65mm in diameter and 3.8mm thick. However, it is a robust and reliable movement that is built to last for generations. The movement is composed of 137 parts, including 7 bridges and 18 jewels. The balance spring is a Breguet balance spring, which is a type of balance spring that is known for its superior timekeeping performance. The movement has a power reserve of at least 50 hours, which means that it will continue to run for at least 50 hours after it is fully wound.

The dial of the Patek Philippe Pocket Watch Hunter Case Ref. 980R is a silvery opaline dial with gold applied Breguet-style numerals. The opaline dial has a slightly pearly sheen that is both elegant and understated. The Breguet-style numerals are a classic and timeless design that is easy to read. The hands are made of blued steel and are shaped like spade hands. The dial also features a subdial for the seconds hand at 6 o'clock.
