完整圖錄內容
The present watch, preserved in excellent condition, displays the signature of Hausmann & Co. at 6 o'clock. Most impressively, the dial displays luminous markers and hands, which is exceedingly rare. To date, this is the only known reference 2508 to display this particular configuration and signed by Hausmann & Co. Most importantly, the dial is confirmed by the Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives.
Fresh to the auction market, this particular timepiece is preserved in remarkable condition. While one hallmark is crisp and visible beneath the crown, another hallmark is also preserved between the lugs. The back of the lug retains crisp definition, and satin finishes are still present. Furthermore, the hard enamel signature is present and raised, attesting to the untouched nature of the dial.
