His original post invites collectors to appreciate the unique character and special case design of this intriguing timepiece. This article delves into why the Pagoda, despite its distinctive aesthetics, merits a closer look from the Patek Philippe community.
A special case, a special character. From 1997:
I may have written a review on this watch. I don't own the watch, though, but I find it quite interesting.
Best,
Nicolas
