Patek Philippe

• quartz movement • black textured dial, Arabic numerals, luminescent accents and hands, centre seconds, aperture for date • stainless steel polished and brushed case, screw-down crown with protective shoulders, screw-down case back • case, dial and movement signed • stainless steel Patek Philippe double folding clasp

The movement is running while cataloguing and the hands set correctly when tested, the date advances at midnight. The case is in good visual condition with no obvious scratches or dents. The rubber bracelet appears full-size. The dial is in good condiiton, the luminescent within the hands has cracked and so could potentially require replacement. (this, I would assume, is from age as the watch does not have any signs of being knocked) The timekeeping, although running, has not been tested for realiability nor accuracy and a service should be considered required at the buyers expense.
