The complication of a flashing quarter-second is extremely rare in such an early watch, particularly in combination with the already rare virgule escapement.

The commitment to quality that he had acquired during his many years at Patek Philippe was later reflected in the products he designed and manufactured himself. 1.000 € - 3.000 €
