Description
 


Up for sale is a rare LePhare repeater pocket watch 18k gold with a Swiss mechanism. Case is marked HP. There are many fine jewelers with those initials. Watch weighs 3.4 Troy ounces. Elaborate case with intricately textured face and case . Movement is marked Swiss. Despite its many merits watch has defects. It runs, but I can't set it and it seems overwound. The second hand runs for about 5 minutes and the hands move when you hit the stopwatch button. The LePhare wimdow plaque falls into the watch. Image 9 shows this. There are dings around the 18k edge as shown in the photos. The watch lived a good life and needs some TLC and a cleaning. Shipped Free insured
