I have found no specific information on the clock of Notre Dame de Versailles. The church was built in 1684-1686. My best guess would be that the clock would have been installed later on.
The Church of Notre Dame de Versailles is just a couple of blocks from the central market, the Marché Notre-Dame, and not far from the entrance to the Versailles gardens near the Grand Trianon.
King Louis XIV decided to offer a church to the growing town of Versailles when the court was established in 1682. The books of the Church record the baptisms, weddings, and deaths of members from the royal family.
