About This Watch
Vintage. No boxes but comes with orig. archive report & an invoice for works done by Patek for US$2425 in Nov 2004. This watch was returned to the Patek Philippe subsidiary in New York, Henri Stern Watch Agency for a complete works job.
This pre-war Patek Philippe received a full restoration works including a factory dial restoration back in 2004 and is fresh as new now which can be inspected from the pictures & the glorious rectangular 9'90 movement is reflecting like a mirror when revealed. Please study the pictures and enjoy the legendary Côtes de Genève decoration on the bridges which is simply incredible. It would cost several thousands by now to replicate the same job.
The polished gold case has very faint hairlines that are negligible and we would recommend you to leave them as they are now.
There are three simple basic rules to owning such vintage watches which is similar to a modern watch:
#1 Don't over wind or you'll break the mainspring and the watch will not work.
#2 Don't ever let it get near water/moisture so be careful when you wash hands or if you need to cross the street in rain.
#3 Don't ever drop it, as it does not have anti-shock protection for the delicate balance staff in those Pre-WWII years. Otherwise, this grandfather Patek can easily be handled down to many generations to come as long as you baby it and they can be worn daily. It takes 24 rounds on the crown to a full wind.
This is a very attractive rectangular watch with a highly desirable rectangular movement & presented in an almost mint condition. It's a highly collectible timepiece that'll be a great conversation timepiece among your peers.
The Henri Stern Watch Agency occupies a whopping 33,000 square feet space in the prestigious Rockefeller Centre and is the direct subsidiary of the Geneva firm. It was founded in 1942 by Henri Stern (2nd generation of the Stern family that owns Patek) who was sent to USA in 1937 to oversee the business in the North American market.
