In his comment to my thread dedicated to the Patek Philippe/Somazzi partnership , our dear Gordon aka GLau asked me how many retailers were able to have their signature on some Patek Philippe watches . Here's my answer : A / I have identified 58 retailers

A tonneau shaped case for a minute repeater. And a nice sounding one. Best, Nicolas

Here are 39 models ordered more or less by increasing complexity. Have a nice Sunday. 1. SMALL SECONDS Henry Graves Jr.'s Minute Repeater (cal. no. 97,589) credit: Hodinkee Ref. 2419 (cal. ?) credit: hodinkee Ref. 2524 (cal. ?) 2524/1 (credit: Hodinkee) 2
