With its understated silver face and timeless square case, it showcases a classic and elegant Patek style.
Its faceted case has an ultra thin profile from the side.
Powered by a Patek Philippe caliber 175 handwound movement, the company's first ultra-thin mechanism, the watch excels in technical merits. This illustrious movement was awarded the prestigious "Geneve Quality Seal" and this example is stamped in two places with it. Photos of the inside available upon request.
We are proud to offer it in all-original condition. It has fully Patek parts down to all hands, the winding crown, and even original Patek Philippe band and 18K gold buckle.
Its presents beautifully on the wrist. Its champagne dial is original and untouched.
Our Master Watchmaker has fully serviced the watch which consists of fully disassembling the movement, carefully inspecting each part, replacing any overly worn components with new Patek parts, reassembling and lubricating the movement, and extensive timing testing and regulation (a $695 value). It is running strong and true.
Accompanying it is an Extract from the Patek Philippe archives attesting to its originality and authenticity.
Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function and new timing certificate attesting to its performance.
