Visible features
• Integrated stainless steel bracelet with deployant clasp. • Horizontal 'garage door' texture on the dial. • Combined chronograph sub-counter at the 6 o'clock position. • Date aperture located at the 3 o'clock position.
Movement and Mechanism
Powering the functions is the Patek Philippe Caliber CH 28-520 C. This self-winding movement is configured for high precision, utilizing a column-wheel mechanism paired with a vertical clutch system. The movement supports a flyback chronograph complication. The integration of the chronograph function is displayed via the single sub-dial at 6 o'clock, which manages the measurement of elapsed time in both hours and minutes concurrently.
Case and Dial Construction
The watch features a 40.5 mm stainless steel case constructed in three parts. It incorporates a combination of satin-brushed and polished finishes on its surfaces. The dial is rendered in a blue fumé finish, decorated with a horizontal pattern often referred to as 'garage door' texturing. It displays luminous indices and hands for time indication. The 3 o'clock position houses a date display, while the 6 o'clock position contains a single, coaxial counter designed to register both chronograph minutes and hours.
Documentation and Provenance
The object is presented with its original box and an accompanying leather wallet. Crucially, it includes a certificate of authenticity issued in April 2012, which the source notes provides significant weight to the piece's identity. The watch is fitted with an integrated stainless steel bracelet, designed to align with the geometry of the case.
