Object description

Dial Ornamentation and Visual Characteristics

Visual observation of the watch face shows a time-only two-hand display with dauphine-style hands and no hour numerals or markers. The dial surface exhibits symmetrical scrollwork in silver relief against a black enamel field, with the signature 'PATEK PHILIPPE GENEVE' set in a rectangular plaque above the central arbor.

The auction catalogue identifies this execution as 'Volutes engraved black champlevé enamel'. The catalogue text additionally asserts that hand-engraved scrollwork and black champlevé enamel decorate both the dial and the sides of the case, though the case sides are not visible in the single front photograph provided.

Evidence for this section
  • “The dial features intricate, symmetrical scrollwork in silver relief against a black enamel background.”
  • “The brand signature 'PATEK PHILIPPE GENEVE' is framed within a rectangular cartouche positioned just above the center arbor.”
  • “DIAL: Volutes engraved black champlevé enamel”

Case Architecture and Reported Movement

In frontal view, the timepiece displays a round polished bezel, straight tapering lugs, and an attached black strap. The auction house specifies the case material as platinum, records the diameter as 38 mm, and reports the serial identity as Case no. 6’061’034.

The internal mechanism is described in the source as an automatic movement with movement number 5’828’335. Because the case back is not depicted in the available image, the movement caliber designation, construction details, and serial engraving are not verified by visual inspection.

Evidence for this section
  • “A smooth, polished platinum bezel frames the dial, fitted to straight tapering lugs and a black leather strap.”
  • “CASE MATERIAL: Platinum”
  • “DIAMETER: 38 mm.”
  • “CASE NO. 6’061’034”

Accompanying Materials and Cataloguing Limitations

The listing reports accompanying items including matching cufflinks, a platinum Patek Philippe buckle, product literature, a leather folder, presentation box, outer packaging, and a Certificate of Origin dated 24 July 2015. None of these items are shown in the primary photograph.

The auction notice also notes that the black crocodile strap depicted in the lot photography is an endangered species material shown for display purposes only and was not sold with the lot, stating that the watch would instead be supplied with a black leather strap upon sale.

Evidence for this section
  • “WITH: Matching cufflinks, Certificate of origin dated 24 July 2015, product literature, leather folder, presentation box and outer packaging”
  • “This endangered species strap is shown for display purposes only and is not for sale. Upon sale, this watch will be supplied to the buyer with a black leather strap.”
