Patek Philippe

I promised @FabR another post with something special back when I posted the Ref. 565. Well it took a bit of time since you know I love to hear myself talk about this stuff but in any case here you go. Patek Phillipe: a Brief History for Collectors Many wa...  

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

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.

Only confirms case and movement numbers Even if dial is redone , an extract can be obtained J

The older I get, the nicer these vintage pieces appear. I admire their design and craftsmanship. Thanks for sharing your detailed knowledge and passion.

Love the history ! Look forward to more of your thoughtful threads !

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.
