Specialist note

The present watch stands out by its very attractive overall condition and the unusual retailer signature "Hölscher", one of Patek Philippe's distinguished retailers in Cologne, Germany, at the time. Recently overhauled in the workshops of Patek Philippe in Geneva it still retains the International Customer Service tag and protective sticker to the case back.
