Split-seconds chronographs, or rattrapantes, represent some of the most sophisticated portable timekeepers produced by Patek Philippe in the early twentieth century. Intended to record simultaneous events by means of superimposed chronograph seconds hands, such watches were made in limited numbers and have long been appreciated for the complexity of their construction. The present example, further fitted with a 30-minute recorder, is characteristic of the firm’s high-grade complicated production of the period. It should, however, be noted that the graphics of the dial appear unlikely to be original to the watch, suggesting that the dial was most probably replaced at a later date during a service by Patek Philippe.
