Notes

Dial, case and movement signed. DIAM. 33 mm. THICKNESS 11.5 mm. The present watch was bought by the current owner during the prestigeous sale The Art of Patek Philippe on November 1999, and kept carefully in a safe until now. Confirmed being delivered to Casa Weil, its attractiveness is further enhanced by the extract from the archives that mentions the dial as rose dial.
