Notes
Signed Dial, case and movement A particularly large example of the famous Patek Philippe "St. George & the Dragon" watches which are usually of pendant size. It is also unusual for a Patek Philippe watch movement to be signed in any other language other than French or English and thus this watch would have been intended for the Spanish-speaking market.
