A hidden gem.

Hidden gems often come with stories of discovery, like stumbling upon a masterpiece at a flea market or an overlooked artist whose work rises to fame after years of obscurity.

The cream porcelain dial with applied Breguet numerals and Breguet hands mirrors the curved design of the tonneau-shaped case, creating a harmonious and charming look. It's protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, ensuring durability and clarity.

Powered by the Geneva-sealed caliber 177 hand-wound movement, the watch promises precision while maintaining a slim profile on the wrist. The attention to detail continues with the alligator strap and matching rose gold buckle, seamlessly complementing the sleek silhouette of the case.
This piece, produced in limited quantities, is truly a Patek Philippe hidden gem—a unique find that speaks to those who appreciate the finer details. Its rarity and stunning condition only add to its allure.
