In the 1920's Patek Philippe, the unrivaled premier watchmaker in the world, on occasion made jewel encrusted ladies watches to meet the needs of their discriminating female clientele.

Today these special watches are sought-after by women of distinction, Hollywood actresses, and any lady desiring to wear a world-class timepiece.

The rare and very exclusive ladies diamond and platinum Patek Philippe watch showcased in today's offering is a prime example of this phenomenon, made for the company's U.S. clientele and likely sold through Tiffany & Co. We were very fortunate to acquire it.

The approximately forty-two diamonds on its stunning case are very high quality, as one would expect from original factory set diamonds on a watch of this caliber. The case and crown are both exquisitely engraved with scroll, leaf, and floral patterns. Our photos couldn't do it justice.

Patek designed the extremely high-grade movement to maintain very accurate timekeeping even across a wide range of temperatures, positions, and even amounts of power left (isochronism), something only the highest top tier of 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 very top-tier of men's watches.

It has all of its original parts and presents in fabulous condition, appearing to have been worn only occasionally and carefully in appreciation of its quality and value and then safely stored away.

Its silver Patek signed dial presents beautifully. Its exquisitely engraved case is is in excellent condition with only slight wear to the back and shows very little signs of ever having been polished.

One of our Master Watchmakers has fully serviced the watch which consisted of fully disassembling the movement, carefully inspecting each part, reassembling and lubricating the movement, and extensive timing testing and regulation (an $895 value).

It comes equipped with a vintage black cord bracelet with adjustable clasp. If you would like a new black cord band, we stock brand new ones that can fit any size wrist.

Accompanying it is an Extract from the Patek Philippe Archives attesting to its authenticity and originality - which costs 550 CHF to obtain. Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function.

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.
