Full-Cataloguing
- Cased at 42mm in diameter, even with the addition of the two chronograph pushers, the case remains intact and compact. Sporty yet well balanced inside the watch beats the well-known in-house calibre CH 28-520. Further featuring a flyback function, the movement displays all the classical Patek’s delicacies, such as the Gyromax and Spiromax technologies, as well as the Patek Philippe Seal.
- Playful in its green livery but at the same time elegant and balanced, the model is a triumph of sporty design. A lovely detail is the 6 o'clock counter which echoes the octagonal shape of the bezel.
- The present watch is offered in extremely well preserved condition.
