The case maker for this reference is Ponti (son of Ponti of Ponti Gennari, (keymark 21) and this totally unconventional creation is signed inside the case back. The here offered bracelet watch for lady is a bald and fine creation made in yellow gold and elegantly preserved. The motif with the gold pearls shape on the present watch reflects the creativity of Patek Philippe, and under the cover is located a delicate rectangular dial with black painted baton indexes, hidden when the mask is closed, and allows the piece to be worn as both a functional watch and a piece of jewelry. During the 1950s, Patek Philippe ladies watch often featured a small dial and leather or cord strap but this watch comes with a yellow-gold bracelet. Preserved in excellent condition, this timepiece must have been worn sparingly throughout its lifetime as it hardly displays any wear.
