Incoming Restoration Ref 570
I have sent a couple of vintage Patek watches to Geneva for a full restoration. I just got the call that HSWA has one of the two. It's a Ref 570. I give you the before photo today. The watch will be here on Monday, and I'll then give you the after photo.
I have been waiting 6 months for this one. Enjoy |

Six months seems fairly quick. I'm sure it will turn out great.
