Perfection ?
Is any word really needed here? Even I am captivated, although I'm usually not very attracted to steel watches.
This Patek Philippe ref. 570 in steel from 1949 is one of 5 known steel examples fitted with an indirect center seconds mechanism added to the existing 12'''120 subsidiary seconds register movement.
Furthermore, this watch is believed to be the only known ref. 570 to feature a dial displaying four Arabic numerals, an outer minute track and enamel baton indexes.
The case is 36,5 mm.
Best, Emmanuel

Perfection is just the word
In a different world, I sell everything else I have, buy that watch, and wear it every day happily ever after.
Hi Emmanuel, It is more
perfect (if such a term exists 🤣) in the photo (the 10th one) with the watch in a spiced up blue strap ! 👍
Right up my alley!
Design wise at least. It looks bigger than I would have imagined, what size is it?
Warm welcome to WatchProSite and thank you for sharing
your wonderful steel 570. How lucky you are to enjoy such a rare and beautiful timepiece! Golberger's book is a mine indeed, which I very much like. Best, Emmanuel
