Gold open face pocket watch with chronograph with its original box and certificate

According to family tradition, this watch belonged to the surgeon Gabriel Roux (Marseille). It was given to him by one of his patients, then carefully preserved in its original box, engraved "G R". It is accompanied by all the accessories sold at the time, such as the Patek Philippe certificate of origin, a spare spring, a spare crystal and a leather travel case. Its state of preservation is remarkable.
Dr. Gabriel Roux was a professor at the École de Médecine, a surgeon at the Marseilles hospitals at the age of 29, and renowned for his exceptional surgical talent. He was distinguished during the Great War of 1914-1918.
