This gorgeous vintage Patek Philippe showcased in today's offering is a wonderful example of one of the company's special ladies vintage creations. It features an elegant oval case, royal blue dial, and stunning hand-wrought bracelet, our favorite part of the watch. The photos of the dial just couldn't do it justice.

We were fortunate to acquire this beautiful Patek complete with its original certificate.

Our watchmaker has freshly cleaned and oiled the movement. Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function and a new timing certificate attesting to its performance.

This classically styled vintage Patek with original certificate is available for a fraction of the price of a new one.
