interestingly first patek ref to use caliber 28-255 (jlc920) famously subsequently used in first nautilus ref 3700 made in yg and yg . typically with standard white dials but some funky ones too this being the most wild; sold on strap but also integrated ...  

made in wg & yg apols

one of the first refs could get handcrafted dials … so rare upgrades to standard offerings

Great find...

How are the numbers applied??

Interesting dial! I zoomed in on the dial and the numbers are still flat compared to the scalloped dial…how is that possible?? I’m assuming the numerals are painted on the dial and the dial is flat?!? What an amazing illusion if that’s the case.

painted indeed - hand painted.

the dial is hand guilloche (so not flat)

 
 By: GuinnessForMeAndTheWatch : February 25th, 2023-00:45
so numerals hand painted in layers overs guilloched unevenness ...  

Nice! So how Jumbo are we talking about?

Must take a long time to finish that dial…I would be dizzy after painting one of those 😜

watch out for a hand scolloped indices version
