This Patek is classic and timeless, this would be a great addition to a collection lacking a formal dress watch. This timepiece would pair great with a tuxedo or suit as it would fit perfectly under the coat sleeve and is simple yet ultimately refined.

CASE & BRACELET

The 36mm solid 18k YG “Disco Volante” case, which means “flying disc” in Italian, is in superb original condition. The original Patek Philippe crown with the back to back “PP” Patek logo from the 1950s also remains in wonderful condition and is original to the piece. The lug hallmarks are intact and visible as is the reference and serial numbers on the inside of the case back. The watch will be supplied with a Horween vintage style strap.

DIAL & HANDS

The original dial is silvered with brushed like finish free of any blemishing or marks. The applied golden hour markers and non-luminous dauphine hands are in stunning condition. The minute track is embossed with an almost riveted like look. The subsidiary seconds chapter is at the 6 o’clock position on the dial and is a nice touch especially for an automatic movement
