An Authentic Patek Phillipe?
I'm not a watch expert. But I like beautiful watches. I wonder if there is a way to tell if this is an authentic Patek Phillipe? I did Google the number on the back, if that is the model number, and found a number for sale on the internet, though they do not look like this one. I've seen some pretty fancy knock-offs from China these last few years. But this one stumps me. The workmanship is quite unusual. The mechanism works perfectly - reset the time and ALL the dials reset automatically, and correctly. It keeps absolutely perfect time. It's quite unlike my visually perfect but functionally imperfect $35 Vacheron Constantin sent by a friend from China. Would there be a way to identify authenticity, outside of finding a high-end jeweller? Even the hint of authenticity? I live in the country, a long drive to any jeweller -- but if there was the slightest possibility this was authentic, it might be worth the drive. All ears, Ben
As per forum rules we do not allow posting pics of fake watches. Thank you for your understanding. Dje
