During the first half of the 20th century Patek Phillipe produced many oblong-shaped watches. They were fitted with square or round movements, such as this timepiece. The three part case has a pink gold framework with downturned curved lug, bracketing the highly bevelled crystal. The dial is immaculate with the "Patek Philippe & Co. Geneve" letters still raised. Over time the dial has acquired a strong salmon-coloured hue. Two lateral seals are clearly visible on the unpolished case.
