We are proud to offer today this very fine and original mid-century era ladies Patek Philippe.

With its understated silver face, wonderfully distinctive case, and original Patek Philippe removable bracelet, it showcases a classic and elegant vintage Patek style.

The bracelet was designed and made by Gay Freres one of, if not the premier, bracelet maker of the period. Freres counted Patek Philippe, Rolex, and Jaeger-LeCoultre, among others as clients.

Powering it is its illustrious handwound movement. Designed to maintain accuracy across five positions, various temperatures, and even amounts of power reserve left in the mainspring, its among the finest hand-winding ladies movements ever built.

It presents in beautiful original condition. With the exception of one hand, it has original parts down to the winding crown and crystal.

Its shapely Patek Philippe case is in just short of mint condition. Its untouched original dial is in excellent condition with only light aging. Our highly magnified photos accentuate it. On the wrist it presents very nicely.

And its movement, which is very clean, is keeping very accurate time. Photos of the inside available upon request. One of our watchmakers has disassembled it down to its last screw and cleaned and oiled it making it ready for immediate enjoyment.

Accompanying it is an Extract from the Patek Philippe's archive, on its way to us from Switzerland, attesting to its authenticity and originality.

Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function.
