Fine Timepieces

The inner case back is signed "PATEK PHILIPPE & Co. GENEVE SWISS ACIER STAYBRITE 620639. The watch winds, sets and runs but has not been timed for accuracy. The crystal shows scattered superficial scratches at 10X magnification, the dial (we can find no other examples with this treatment, possibly refinished) shows even discoloration and craquelure throughout and one minute loss near 11 o'clock, the applied numerals at 2, 8, 9 and 12 show noticeable discoloration, the remainder and hands much less so. The case shows even moderate wear consisting of scratches and scuffs, noticeably less on the case back. The movement is clean.

The physical condition of lots in our auctions can vary due to age, normal wear and tear, previous damage, and restoration/repair. All lots are sold "AS IS," in the condition they are in at the time of the auction, and we and the seller make no representation or warranty and assume no liability of any kind as to a lot's condition. Any reference to condition in a catalogue description or a condition report shall not amount to a full accounting of condition. Condition reports prepared by Freeman's staff are provided as a convenience and may be requested from the Department prior to bidding.

The absence of a posted condition report on the Freeman's website or in our catalogues should not be interpreted as commentary on an item's condition. Prospective buyers are responsible for inspecting a lot or sending their agent or conservator to inspect the lot on their behalf, and for ensuring that they have requested, received and understood any condition report provided by Freeman's.
