Cairelli, whose signature appears \n      prominently on the dial alongside that of the Geneva manufacture.\n      \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n      The Cairelli connection adds considerable historical and collector interest. Patek Philippe \n      watches retailed by A. Cairelli in Rome are documented from the early decades of the twentieth \n      century, including important pocket watches bearing the retailer’s signature on their dials.\n      \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n      The beautifully preserved silvered dial is distinguished by its subtle vertical brushed finish, \n      applied baton hour markers and elegant faceted hands. At 6 o’clock, the subsidiary seconds register \n      features fine concentric detailing and a striking blued-steel seconds hand. Particularly attractive \n      is the “A. CAIRELLI – ROMA” signature incorporated into the upper portion of the seconds register.\n      \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n      Equally noteworthy is the Staybrite stainless-steel case, a highly appealing feature among vintage \n      Patek Philippe watches. The case is attributable to the celebrated Geneva casemaker Taubert Frères, \n      identified by the distinctive FB-within-a-key trademark.\n      \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n      Inside is a beautifully finished Patek Philippe manual-winding movement with gilt bridges, displaying \n      the refined construction and traditional finishing associated with the manufacture’s high-grade \n      pocket watches.\n      \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n      The combination of a Taubert Frères Staybrite steel case, the Patek Philippe–A. Cairelli double-signed \n      dial and the beautifully executed silvered finish makes this an unusually compelling vintage Patek Philippe: \n      a timepiece bringing together Geneva haute horlogerie, specialist Swiss case-making and an important \n      chapter in the history of fine watch retailing in Rome.\n    \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Patek Philippe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54787826614595,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0902\/5955\/4627\/files\/DSC06829.jpg?v=1788426265","url":"https:\/\/andreafoffi.com\/products\/patek-philippe-cie-a-cairelli-roma-pocket-watch-staybrite-steel","provider":"Andrea Foffi - Vintage watches dealer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
