Condition
The manual movement is running while cataloguing. Enamel dial in good condition. Some scratches to the enamel case back but overall in good condition. **Please note that this lot is accompanied by a Patek Philippe Certificate of Origin listing movement number 101.213 and is one number different from the actual watch which is 101.217. Interestingly, the Patek Philippe presentation case has a spare glass which is numbered 213.650 whereas the watch case number is, again, one number different: 213.654. As the numbers are so close, it seems likely that the watch was sold with the wrong presentation case and certificate at the original point of sale.
