We are pleased to offer this very fine and classic Patek Philippe mens handwound dress watch.

With its vintage styled silver face and timeless case with downward turned lugs, it showcases an elegant vintage Patek style.

It bezel has been previously aftermarket upgrade with brilliant diamonds that are stunning! It has 52 brilliant cut sparkling diamonds and is full of fire. The diamonds are eye clean and white and radiate in the light.

Powering the watch is its illustrious Patek Philippe 10 ligne movement, stamped in two places with the prestigious Poinçon de Genève, unquestionably among the finest hand-winding movements ever built.

With the exception of the diamonds on the bezel and the manner in which the lugs have been altered to accommodate the bezel, it has all of its original parts.

Its thin Patek Philippe case presents as just short of mint condition with very slight wear to the back. On the wrist, it presents as mint. If you would like the underside and back of the case freshly polished and rhodiumed so they present as mint please inquire.

Its untouched original dial is in fabulous mint condition with virtually no aging visible under magnification.

One of our Master Watchmakers has fully serviced the watch which consists of fully disassembling the movement, carefully inspecting each part, replacing any overly worn parts, reassembling and lubricating the movement, and timing testing and regulation (a $695 value).

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 new crocodile strap making it ready for immediate enjoyment.

Included with the purchase is a one-year international warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate attesting to its performance.

Your watch is important to us, and we will take care of it for its lifetime. We provide the best after sale care in the business with an extremely experienced team of four Master Watchmakers all of whom each have over thirty-five years of experience and a large number of parts. One used to be the watchmaker for an authorized Rolex dealership and was given special training by Rolex at their Beverly Hills Service Center and has done work for the Cartier Service Center.

Patek Philippe:

Patek Philippe sets the standard as the finest watch manufacturer in the world. In the 1960's and 70's, Patek Philippe produced less than fifty watches per day (contrast this with Rolex and other fine watch manufacturers that produced 500 - 3,000 pieces per day). Important examples of Patek's wristwatches took between nine-months and one-year to assemble.
