Unfortunately my grandfather passed away recently. While his daily beater was a Casio was a delightful plastic strap, I knew there was something else hiding away. He had previously told me I was to get it when he passed away.

However, when I went to his funeral, much to my surprise, my uncle was wearing it!

Today, however, I received this

 

Some more close ups. Original 18k buckle also

 

Nice! Would love to see the movement.

 

Has anyone here had a Patek serviced by Patek? Are there the same issues as with Beine?

 

My condolences for your loss and in all honesty my envy at your gain!

 

And came with original papers from 1973

 

Sorry to learn of your recent loss, and happy to know that this beautiful piece has found its way to the rightful heir.

 

My condolences but nice heirloom piece

 

Will try and get photos when it is serviced.

 

Thanks all
