Housed within the elegant case is a manually wound Patek Philippe movement cal 12-400, finished to the highest standards and reflecting the maison’s legendary dedication to traditional watchmaking.

Accompanied by an Extract from the Archives, this watch offers confirmed historical documentation, further enhancing its importance and collectibility.
