Today's offering showcases this handsome and all-original retro example of one of the company's classic vintage "ultra thin" watches.

It features a stylish "TV" shaped case and cool original textured dial.

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".

We were fortunate to acquire it in such beautiful original condition. It is all original down to the dial, hands, and winding crown. The case presents as just short of mint with strong, crisp lines. The dial is original near mint plus. And the movement is in very pleasing condition.

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

Please inquire if you would like us to request an Extract from the Archives for you.

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

An important watch that can be worn daily or just for special occasions.
