Specialist note

According to the Archives of Patek Philippe, the movement and the case of this watch were not born together. It can therefore be assumed that either the movement or the case have been replaced to a later date.

To the best of our knowledge this watch has never been offered in public before and is furthermore preserved in very good overall condition.
