A truly impressive clock, worthy of its aristocratic and palatial presentation aura. Most probably one of the first Dome Clocks ever made by Patek Philippe. Gold sculptured work of premium quality and craftsmanship, the Royal Blue enamel of wonderful depth of color, some small scratches to the enamel on one side panel, but these are see only through a loupe, one small blemish to the back enamel near the lower part, the other side panel with two small areas of enamel loss, but this does not detract from the majestic appeal of this extraordinary timepiece, some slight tarnishing of the gold in some areas, PPC stamps and gold hallmarks throughout the case, dial engraved and signed on a cartouche, movement is in working order.
