Patek Philippe offers the following description:
“The watch displays the day and month at the 12 o’clock position. At 3 o’clock it has the standard 30 minute chronograph counter. At 6 o’clock, the watch displays the day of the month and the moon phase indicator A small round aperture at between the 3 to 4 o’clock positions indicates the leap year cycle, while another small round aperture at between the 3 to 4 o’clock positions serves as a day night indicator. Two case backs are provided with the watch. A full platinum case back and another with a sapphire crystal glass Patek Philippe has thought of it all, allowing the wearer to use the watch to its fullest capabilities & still having a sleek, sophisticated & rare timepiece to covet & enjoy!
Strap: alligator with square scales, hand-stitched, matte black with deployment buckle in Platinum. Water resistant to 30 meters / 100 feet.”
Now that’s a watch. Earlier we mentioned that some of Patek Philippe’s watches come in at under $15,000. This is not one of them — the 5204P -010 can be yours for a mere $279,995, alligator strap included.
Please do not hook your new Patek Phillipe up to the propeller of your brother-in-law’s motor boat. Thank You!
