My son has been shown this watch by his partners’ father. It has been lying in a drawer for years and he says he cannot remember when he got it, how much he paid or where it was bought, (he is getting on in years). He says he has never worn it and my son thinks this could be true. My son thinks it may be genuine but just from these two photos I am not so sure, I have certainly never seen a Patek looking like this but then my knowledge of Patek Phillipe is limited to say the least. Anybody have any ideas?
No. nope never run away. a Patek would be finished on at least one side of the plates if not both. This has zero finishing and not even beveled bridges. This appears to be a base AS movement.
