Sonning Vintage Watches

Patek Philippe are quite simply the most famous and most prestigious watchmaker in the world. They have broken pretty much every record in terms of accuracy, price, rarity and waiting lists. Founded in 1839 they created many of the most famous watches in the world.

This is a stunning example of a 1960’s gents Patek – the average watch size for a man in the 1960’s was around 33mm, we’ve listed it as a Unisex as the size is now closer to a ladies watch but we have many male clients wearing this size (I’d be happy to send a wrist video on WhatsApp). The solid 18ct yellow gold case is in excellent condition with only the most minor signs of wear – please note the genuine Patek winding crown. The original Patek signed gold/champagne pearlescent dial is again in excellent condition with no visible signs of wear. The super high grade Patek signed manual wind movement is again in excellent condition and has just been serviced by our professional watchmaker. The watch sits on a new, super high quality, black Hirsch ‘London’ alligator strap with gold plated Hirsch buckle.

Watches of this quality and condition are rare to find and we will give a 12 month guarantee on the movement.

This is a beautiful example of a watch from one of horology’s most famous names and will, if history is any judge, provide an excellent financial investment as well as a possession to treasure and enjoy. I will provide an insurance valuation in excess of my asking price. Please appreciate the difficulty of photographing this piece, it looks even better in real life.
