Notes

Bought by the owner in the Antiquorum, Art of Patek Philippe sale in April 1989 (lot 195), the watch has remained hidden in a safety vault for the past 30 years before being rediscovered recently by the family. Upon inspection one can immediately notice the overall quality of the piece by the thickness and definition of the case, the unpolished case with tight pin holes and a deep hallmark.
