With its understated gold face and timeless yet gorgeous square case, it showcases a classic and elegant vintage Patek style. Its original rare double signed dial is printed Gubelin and has cool markers inset into the dial.
Powering it is its illustrious Patek Philippe 10 ligne movement, unquestionably among the finest hand-winding movements ever built. It is stamped with the prestigious Poinçon de Genève, attesting to its quality.
It presents in beautiful all-original condition down to the original dial, hands, and winding crown. Its case is excellent condition with crisp hallmarks. Its untouched original gold only shows fairly mild aging. Please inquire if you would like it restored.
And its movement is very clean. One of our watchmakers has disassembled it down to its last screw and cleaned and oiled it.
For the finishing touch we have equipped it with a brand new expensive crocodile strap with so-called "Cartier" lining making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
Please inquire if you would like us to obtain an Extract for you.
Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.
