Hi Duffy
Thanks for that wonderful history ( albeit abridged) of patek As regards your watch , have you tried to get an extract from pp That may give you more info regarding the movement It looks very early , with a wolf tooth winder Regards Julian
Sadly no extract
As the dial is clearly incorrect, Patek would not issue an extract. I may take it to Patek's Service Center in NYC and see what they recommend.
My understanding is that the extract
Only confirms case and movement numbers Even if dial is redone , an extract can be obtained J
Beautiful watch and post!
The older I get, the nicer these vintage pieces appear. I admire their design and craftsmanship. Thanks for sharing your detailed knowledge and passion.
Thanks for the post ! 👍
Love the history ! Look forward to more of your thoughtful threads !
Thanks for the kind words!
This watch is heading to Henri Stern in NYC then on to Geneva for the once over. I will make a decision on what to do once the numbers comeback.
