We are pleased to offer this very fine and classic Patek Philippe mens handwound dress watch.

With its understated silver face and timeless case with downward turned lugs, it showcases an, elegant vintage Patek style.

Powering the watch is its illustrious Patek Philippe 10 ligne movement, stamped in two places with the prestigious Poinçon de Genève, unquestionably among the finest hand-winding movements ever built.

Its thin Patek Philippe case presents as scratch-free with only light remnants of wear. It shows signs of previous polishing.

Its original dial has been previously restored by one of the leading dial experts in North America and has only the slightest hint of aging.

One of our Master Watchmakers, who used to be the watchmaker for an authorized Rolex dealer and was given special training by Rolex at their Beverly Hills Service Center to be an authorized Rolex watchmaker, has fully serviced the watch which consists of fully disassembling the movement, carefully inspecting each part, installing a new mainspring, reassembling and lubricating the movement, and timing testing and regulation (a $795 value). It is keeping very accurate time.

For the finishing touch it comes equipped it with a new Teju lizard strap making it ready for immediate enjoyment.

If you would like us to obtain an Extract from the Patek Philippe archives for you please inquire. Patek charges 500 CHF to provide one.

Included with the purchase is a one-year international warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate attesting to its performance.

Patek Philippe:
Patek Philippe sets the standard as the finest watch manufacturer in the world. In the 1960's and 70's, Patek Philippe produced less than fifty watches per day (contrast this with Rolex and other fine watch manufacturers that produced 500 - 3,000 pieces per day). Important examples of Patek's wristwatches took between nine-months and one-year to assemble.

Strong Suction Cups
Color: Silver
I didn't realize that this caddy came with the option to use suction cups or adhesive hooks. I opted for the suction cups and was pleasantly surprised at their strength. I loaded the caddy up with a couple of sponges, fingernail brush, and a dishwashing brush (filled with liquid soap) and have had no problems with the caddy remaining strongly secured. It's a great little organizer and looks really nice.

GREAT Suction!! Looks fantastic!
Color: Silver, Color: Silver
I wanted to find a sponge holder with great suction for our ceramic sink. This is the REAL DEAL! I saw one or two complaints on the reviews below but obviously they are doing something wrong, because if you just follow the instructions (make sure the sink is clean and dry where you stick it), it works perfectly. I've had it for about 3 weeks now and we use it every single day and it has never slipped even once. The suction cups are big and made of good plastic so they really do the job. It hasn't budged from the spot where I placed it. It's also easy to take the caddy off of the suction cups when you want to clean the sink without moving the suction cups. You can peel them off easily and reposition them but they will not move unless you want them too. It's also the perfect size and looks great. Perfect for holding a stick sponge upright so that the soap doesn't leak out of it.

Great product. Suction can be improved though.
Color: Silver
I'm satisfied with my purchase. It gets the job done. The suction pads can definitely be improved though, I found that pads couldn't keep the holder in place for more than an hour so I just removed the suction pads and kept it beside my sink. Overall, great product. Would definitely recommend.

It actually sticks to the sink and stays where it is supposed to. Well made. We love it!
Color: Silver
Finely, a sink caddy that actually sticks to the sink! We have been so frustrated trying to find one that does. This one is great. We just used the suction cups, which are large and there are 3 of them. If finely actually stays there!

Works & Looks Great!
This item comes with two options for sticking to the sink, suction cups & an adhesive thing. I decided to try the suction cups first, that way I can remove them to clean, plus I wanted to test out the position of where I put it on the sink. They work great! I haven’t had to re-stick not once. Great staying power! And it looks really good! Also, the seller sent a follow-up message just to check in & offer answers if any questions arose. That meant the world to me, like it’s not every day a seller cares what you think once money changes hands. 10/10 would recommend!
