**The strap of this wristwatch is made from an endangered species; please refer to important notices for further information.** Please note that the movement has not been tested for the accuracy of its time keeping and therefore a service should be carried out in the near future at the buyer's expense. The movement is running at the time of cataloguing and the chronograph is operating. Dial in excellent condition, as the hands. The dial was restored very likely by Patek Philippe at very high stantards. Case with few scuffs due to age and wear, quite polished, probably several times. During a service in 2010 at Pisa (Milan), several parts such as the crown, pushers were replaced, giving the watch an appealing fresh look. New Patek Philippe crown in yellow gold.
