Condition

This wristwatch was recently serviced by Patek Philippe, however, the balance has subsequently broken and will need to be attended to. Dial has been cleaned but the numerals are original and remain very clear, the enamel of the numeral at 7 o'clock has a slight crack to it. Case has been gently polished but the Patek Philippe signature and movement number to the outside case back are both clear.
