General information:
Offered at 60% of its retail market value due to the reprinted dial, this piece represents outstanding value for any dress watch collector. The dial has been professionally refinished, accurately capturing the original color, finish, and layout. In our opinion, only the Patek Philippe signature appears slightly off. The two scratches at the lower half are located on the plexi crystal, not the dial.
The robust 34mm case wears larger than expected, thanks to its wide bezel in contrast with the smaller dial. The case shows to have been polished in the past yet retaining its thick case and kinked lugs. One of the lugs shows the three last digits of the case serial number as highlighted in the listing pictures. Screw down case back shows scratches due to wear, nothing unusual.
Striking blued steel central sweep seconds hand. Both the hour/minute hands and the applied hour markers show an attractive warm tone. Powering the watch is the exceptional Caliber 27SC running at 18,000 vibrations per hour with a 48-hour power reserve. The movement showcases attractive Geneva striping (côtes de Genève) and finishing of the highest quality.
Included with the watch is a leather Patek Philippe travel pouch.
