We are proud to offer the timelessly classic Patek Philippe wristwatch showcased in today's offering. It features an elegant cushion case with fabulous hooded lugs and egg shell dial with gold accents.

As fine on the inside as the outside, it is powered by 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.

Extremely high grade, it has eight adjustments - five for chronometer positions and three for heat, cold, and even isochronism. Isochronism is the amount of wind left in the movement. Most watches slow down slightly as their power reserve moves toward empty. That is not the case with this watch - it is very high-grade.

It has original parts.

Its 18K gold case has distinctive tiered lugs in a late Art Deco style. Its egg shell dial with gold accents beautifully complements the case.

Its case presents in very good condition with signs of polishing to the back and light wear to the back. On the wrist it presents in beautiful condition. It retains a strong hallmark near the crown. Its dial was restored in vintage times.

One of our Master Watchmakers has disassembled its extremely high grade movement down to its last screw and cleaned and oiled it. 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 Crocodile leather strap making it ready for immediate enjoyment.

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

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.
