As a collector of double signed vintage pieces... it’s been a while, but I finally found an Oscar Linke double signed piece. Ref 2599 in rose gold, unbelievable mint condition.... hallmarks very visible, maybe it had one polishing since 1955? Anyway, I fo...  

I agree with you...I would go matt dark brown alligator. I would want a little contrast between the gold and the strap. This is the first of this reference that I have ever seen. 33mm diameter, correct?

But it wears quite big... maybe 35-36. I find it’s all about the bezel, and this bezel is very thin.

Congratulations for your search and finding it finally. For a watch of that age it looks in very good condition from your picture. The strap color is quite a personal matter but I was thinking for the future looking at light brown tones. My other choices ...

Congrats in hunting down this superb piece ! How many "double signed" brands are out there approximately ? Cheers, Gordon

What does “ double signed “ mean? I have never heard that expression. Thank you.

Means anything that has a jewelers name on the face as well as Patek. Back in the day, it was often more prestigious to have a jewelers name on it than Patek. Today, only Tiffany can double sign watches.
