PATEK PHILIPPE Classic Vintage Mens Ultra Thin Retro TV Watch - 18K
Gold
Finest
Man's Watch - PP Archive Extract - 1 Year Warranty
|
The
Pursuit of Perfection...
Today's auction
showcases this handsome retro example of one of the company's
classic vintage "ultra thin" watches.
Powered by a
Patek Philippe caliber 175 handwound movement, the company's first
ultra-thin mechanism, the watch excels in technical merits. This
illustrious movement was awarded the prestigious "Geneve Quality
Seal".
It has a classic
retro "TV" shaped case with complementary gold dial.
It would originally have come on a bracelet - a jeweler has previously
added the lugs to accommodate a strap.
It presents in much
better than excellent condition, and the dial has been previously
refinished.
Accompanying it is its
Extract from the Patek Philippe archives.
Included
with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. warranty on the movement
and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate
of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.
An important watch that
can be worn daily or just for special occasions.
