Catalogue Essay
Heavy, lavish and bold, the present watch encapsulates Patek Philippe's daring and innovative design spirit of the 1940s.
Preserved in excellent condition, this timepiece must have been worn sparingly throughout its lifetime as it hardly displays any wear. Furthermore, a crisp and sharp hallmark is punched on the caseband. Composed of flexible links, the bracelet watch conceals a dial that has been preserved and untouched for over seventy years. The "long" hard enamel signature displaying "Patek, Philippe & Co." is present and raised, and the dial hardly displays any sign of aging or intervention.
