Design
- Dial and Hands
- The periphery of the dial features a printed outer minute track. The dial houses two sub-dials: a running seconds register at the 6 o'clock position and an elapsed minute counter for the chronograph function at the 12 o'clock position. The display is completed by blue steel moon hands. The dial is signed "Patek Philippe & Cie Genéve" in the center. The chronograph function is integrated into the manual movement, controlled via the crown and a pusher mechanism visible on the side of the 18ct yellow gold case.

- Case and Construction
- The 18ct yellow gold case is designed in an open face configuration, measuring 50mm in diameter. The case includes a hinged dust cover which bears the manufacturer's name, "Patek Philippe & Cie Genéve". The outer case and inner cuvette exhibit stamps corresponding to 18ct gold quality and the brand identity. The crown is located at the top of the case and serves both as a winding mechanism and, in combination with the pusher, as a control for the chronograph function. The construction reflects a 1924 manufacturing date, as documented by the vendor.
- Movement and Documentation

The functional capacity includes a stopwatch/chronograph feature. The object is accompanied by an Extract from the Archives, which verifies the production year and model details. The vendor identifies the item under the internal reference SKU 3284.
