Notes

Patek Philippe and Beyer Chronometrie in Zurich have enjoyed their long-time partnership and both brands have been synonymous with their excellence and prestige in the Swiss watchmaking world. Therefore, it was symbolic for Beyer to have Patek Philippe produce a highly limited edition model for their 250th Anniversary. This Anniversary model, only made in 50 pieces, has a special dial with the double signature ?Patek Philippe Geneve? / ?Beyer?, and the addition of the tachometer scale in blue instead of the pulsation scale in black which is used in the standard edition. Dial, case and movement signed. DIAM. 40 mm. THICKNESS 11 mm.
