Description
- Patek Philippe
The modified rectangular dial with Arabic numerals, scrolling design and blued steel hands, framed by rose-cut diamonds, completed by a platinum mesh bracelet bordered by rose-cut diamonds, manual movement, length 5¾ inches, dial signed Patek Philippe & Co, movement numbered 174.222.
Condition
Manual movement, currently running, dial signed Patek Philippe, movement numbered 174.222. It is rare for a Patek Philippe watch certificate to state that the bracelet was set with diamonds at the factory, because that would have made the watch much more expensive to export. The diamonds are approximately I-J color and SI-I clarity. There are breaks between some of the links and evidence of previous solder repair, but in good condition overall. See Important Notice Regarding Condition of Watches on page 193 of the catalogue.
