Because most vintage Pateks came with plain dials, Pateks with Breguet numeral dial are much rarer and more desirable - and in our opinion often more handsome.
Like a "Curvex", because of its size the special large rectangular was made with a curved back so that it conformed to the wrist. Its wonderfully thin sculpted case is only just over 7.5mm including thick including the crystal.
This gorgeous Art Deco Patek has really captured our hearts. It is powered by its original handwound Patek movement with eight adjustments - five for chronometer positions and three for heat, cold, and isochronism.
Its original 39mm long 18K white gold case is near mint plus. Its dial has been restored by the leading dial expert in the U.S. Its raised Patek Philippe lettering is still intact. And its movement is running true.
One of our watchmakers has disassembled it down to its last screw and cleaned and oiled it making it ready for immediate enjoyment. Photos of the inside available upon request.
It comes fitted with the Patek band that was on it when we acquired it and 18K white gold period buckle that may be original or may be a later addition.
Accompanying the watch is an Extract from the Patek Philippe archives attesting to its authenticity and originality.
Included with the purchase is a one-year international warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate attesting to the watch's performance.
