完整圖錄內容
This wonderfully preserved yellow gold reference 605 features the signature of Gübelin at the center of the dial. Most interestingly, the inside case back bears a series of of minuscule letters. Research shows that this was actually an internal code that Gübelin used. The present watch most notably displays a "long signature", meaning the watch is a particularly early example made before the manufacture changed their signature to the short "Patek Philippe" version.
The present example impresses with its incredible condition, having developed a layer of charming patina on the bezel - a direct result of being unused to for a very lone time.
