Consigned by a descendent of the original owner this vintage wristwatch is classic and elegant. The watch has a relatively large case size that is further enhanced by downturned fluted lugs and ultra rare Patek Philippe bracelet. The model was most often cased in yellow gold. To date, no more than a few handful of examples cased in white gold have appeared on the market. The present watch has been preserved in very original condition with strong fluting to the lugs. Of note is the double "PP" crown, which is particularly cherished by collectors and further still, is the uber rare white gold Patek Philippe clamshell bracelet.
