1955 Patek Philippe Vintage Ladies Fancy Lug Watch - 18K Gold

Patek Philippe

Item No. 10361

We are proud to offer today this very fine and fabulously styled mid-century era ladies Patek Philippe.

With its understated silver face and wonderfully distinctive case with fancy lugs, it showcases a classic and elegant vintage Patek style. With our photos we tried to quite capture the subtleties of the sides of the distinctive case.

Band holders have previously been crafted that complement the watch well. It also could be worn on a rope band.

While not a large watch, it is pleasing slightly larger than many similarly styled models of Pateks.

Powering the watch is its illustrious handwound Patek movement with eight adjustments, unquestionably among the finest hand-winding ladies movements ever built.

Patek designed the extremely high-grade movement to maintain very accurate timekeeping even across a wide range of temperatures, five positions, and even amounts of power left (isochronism), something only the very high grade mens movements could do.

It was virtually unheard of quality for a women's movement, except for some made by Patek Philippe and a few of the highest level ladies movements from a couple other top echelon manufacturers. It is one of the very few women's watches that is truly on par with the top-tier of men's watches.

It has all of its original parts down to its hands and winding crown and has just finished a sympathetic restoration. It presents in beautiful condition.

Its case presents as better than near mint with only fairly light signs of previous polishing and light wear.

Its silver dial has been freshly restored by one of the leading dial experts in North America. And its movement is very clean.

One of our Master Watchmakers has fully serviced the watch which consists of fully disassembling the movement, carefully inspecting each part, adjusting the crown tube and hands, reassembling and lubricating the movement, installing a correct new mineral glass crystal, and extensive timing testing and regulation (an $895 value).

We have also timed it on a machine that simulates it being worn on the wrist. It is keeping very accurate time.

For the finishing touch, we have equipped it with a brand new leather strap making it ready for immediate enjoyment.

Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function and a full-page custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity.

Please inquire if you would like us to obtain an Extract from the Patek Philippe Archives. Patek charges 550 CHF.

Your watch is important to us, and we will take care of it for its lifetime. We provide the best after sale care in the business with an extremely experienced team of four Master Watchmakers all of whom each have over thirty-five years of experience and a large number of parts. One used to be the watchmaker for an authorized Rolex dealership and was given training by Rolex at their Beverly Hills Service Center.
