Notes

DIAM. 42 mm. THICKNESS 12 mm. Ordered by some Lybian officials, it seems that the watch was ordered but finally never picked up. It was then offered to a good Patek Philippe client who decided he liked the extra signature and the rarity of the dial. Offered for the first time at auction, it is the only known 5070 with this dial configuration
