Notes

Part of the beautiful line of Patek Philippe dress watches like the Hour Glass, the Pagoda, the Manta Ray, this recently discovered example is not to be confused with the Top Hat as its case is a full 2.5 mm longer and is bombe unlike the Top Hat that has a flat case but a bombe glass. Purchased from the consignor at Antiquorum at the Vincenza auction on January 18th, 1992, this beautiful watch was delivered movement only (American made platinum case) as per the extract from the archives.
