Condition Report:
The movement is in working condition at the time of cataloguing. The plexi glass with surface wear particularly towards the peripheral from 8 to 11 o'clock. The dial with some wear particularly towards the minute track at 8 o'clock but is still retaining its hard enamel signatures that are nicely raised. The indexes, hours and minute hands with surface wear and the seconds hand has been replaced during previous servicing. The bezel with surface wear and minor pinhead dings at the edges. The case band with minor scuff marks towards 9 o'clock but the hallmark is still nice and crisp. The case back with surface scratches towards the bottom visible to the naked eye.

Catalogue Note:
The current vintage timepiece is rare not only because it is from Patek Philippe, but it is also double signed Freccero on the dial. Freccero & Cia was a prestigious retailer of Patek Philippe watches from Montevideo in Uruguay but few of their watches have risen on the market ever since. What is even more intriguing is the dial and case combination, the highly sought-after “pink on pink” complements nicely with each other while giving an incredible vintage appeal.
