As fine on the inside as the outside, it is powered by one of Patek Philippe's illustrious 9'90 movements, so well designed Patek that used it for more than 40 years! The 9'90 Patek Philippe movement is a tonneau shaped movement introduced in 1934 was fitted into many famous Patek Philippe watches such as the "Banana" (ref. 2442), the "Eiffel Tower " (ref. 2441), and the "Tegolino".
It has fully Patek parts down to all hands and the signed winding crown.
Its 18K rose gold case has distinctive hooded tubular lugs in a late Art Deco style. Its silver dial with rose gold accents beautifully complements the case and has previously been restored. And its extremely high grade movement which has recently been cleaned and oiled is keeping time.
It comes with a previously worn Patek band. For the finishing touch we have equipped it with a brand new crocodile strap and 18K gold Patek buckle making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
Accompanying it is an Extract from the Patek Philippe archives attesting to its originality.
Included with the purchase is a one-year international warranty on the movement and its function.
