MANUFACTURER: Patek Philippe

YEAR: 1950-1955

DIAL: An original, silver, enamel dial. The dial features a raised enamel signature, raised subsidiary seconds and pearled minute track. The signature is in original condition. The dial has been cleaned in the past. The pearled minute track remains well preserved and in good condition. The subsidiary second dial in between the 5 and 6 o'clock hour markers has lost some of its integrity. 

CASE: The 30mm case is in good shape. The case has been previously polished in the past yet the hallmarks can be easily discerned. It presents with light wear from use. It is completed by its original flats crown. The original gold spring bars are missing. 

MOVEMENT: Patek manually wound movement caliber 12-400. This movement carries a geneva seal stamp - the highest designation. The movement itself demonstrates a myriad of techniques including anglage, perlage, black mirror polishing and cotes de geneve. The service history is unknown. The watch winds, sets and runs. It was placed on a timegrapher which illustrated that the watch is keeping time within 7 seconds per day and has an amplitude of 329. The watch can be serviced for $350 plus parts if any are needed. If serviced the watch will come with a one year warranty. 

BRACELET: We have paired this beautiful example of a reference 96 with our "Patimeni" strap - a handmade, tan, pebbled calfskin strap handcrafted by a single artisan in the heart of Italy. Italy has developed a reputation for their premium leather goods now for decades. Rest assured this strap is of the highest quality.
