Notes

This master clock represents one of the very few occasions when the signatures of both Patek Philippe and Rolex can be found on the same piece. The clock is entirely made by Patek Philippe, the case is decorated in the Rolex livery and the case and dial bear the Rolex name. The mottled green colour scheme of the case can be found on several other models of Rolex display clocks dating from the 1950s & 60s.
