Condition

The watch remains in its original sealed factory bag and is in the condition in which it originally left Patek Philippe. The Certificate of Origin has movement number 3665482 and case number 4374036. The tie tag which is visible through the sealed back lists numbers 3666524 and 4383389. As the watch remains in its original sealed bag, it is impossible to verify the number which is actually on the movement. It can be inferred that either the numbers on the tie tag or the Certificate do not match the numbers on the watch.
