I don't know much about PP special editions, but that's one singularly ugly watch with a very serious hairspring/regulator problem.
Even if the aesthetics appeal to you, the technical issue would be enough to look elsewhere.

Patek special editions are always crafted in precious metals. This, on the other hand, isn't a Patek, nor is it special. Someone's uncle just went wild with a high-power engraver, slapping Patek logos all over a $10 watch.

If he charges $2000 for each engraved logo, then yes, we have a $15k watch.

The engraving on the movement is pretty well done, and considering its low serial number COULD be a vintage PP movement that has been skeletonized by someone but it's not a PP production, the dial side just isn't something Patek Philippe would design or execute. The engraving on the case band is pretty rough and not PP quality. Someone put some effort into this to make it look high grade, but it is not a Patek Philippe production.

Are you thinking that it may be pocket watch size?

😉

The whole thing reminds me of Wandolec from Ukraine.

If you are selling a high-end watch (or something that should be a high-end watch), i dont get why people takes pictures as bad as these. Simple answer offcourse is: they dont want you to see something is off..

Indeed, garden variety pocket watch conversion properly done in Ukraine, collector value is about in par with a used moonswatch

done in Ukraine,

Hey Ash, do you remember some of those "Wandolec specials" that we used to get asked about?
Old pocket watch movements, skeletonised (with skill I thought) and put in a new case and sold as an "Omega" or a "Longines" etc etc.

Yeap, this is the first time I’ve seen someone have the hide to ask 15k for one though, that’s some genuine robbery right there
