Today's offering showcases this classic and pleasing Patek Philippe mens midsize dress watch with claw lugs.

Featuring a beautiful salmon face and timeless matching 18K rose gold case with claw lugs, it showcases a slender and elegant vintage style.

And equipped with an illustrious Patek Philippe 10 ligne movement, unquestionably among the finest hand-winding movements ever built, it possesses all the necessary capabilities to earn it its place as one the finest timepieces in the world.

It has all of its original parts down to its dial, hands, and winding crown.

Its elegant Patek Philippe presents as in beautiful condition, better than near mint. It retains very crisp hallmarks on the underside of a lug and the right side.

Its original dial has been restored by one of the leading dial experts in North America. It still retains its original raised Patek Philippe enamel lettering.

One of our Master Watchmaker has fully serviced the watch which consists of fully disassembling the movement, carefully inspecting each part, replacing the balance staff - one of the key tiny parts of the movement - with a new genuine Patek original, reassembling and lubricating the movement, and extensive timing testing and regulation (a $895 value).

For the finishing touch, we have equipped it with a brand new crocodile 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, a full-page custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate attesting to its performance.
