The movement is running, the chronograph is functioning and the watch is chiming in phase but very slowly and would benefit from a clean. The movement may require a service soon at the buyer's expense. The enamel dial is intact with no visible hairlines. The case has been polished with some surface scuffs but overall nice condition.

During the late 19th and early 20th century, not all Patek Philippe movements were created to the same standard. There were four distinct qualities of finish with Extra, First, Second, and Third quality ratings. For the most highly adjusted and finished movements, the word 'Extra' or 'Special', as in the present lot, is indicated on one of the movement bridges.
