Condition Report:
CASE: the case is in very good condition. The coin-edge finish to the bezel is still well defined, the bow is tight, the hallmark to the bow crisp and deep. The back bears strong satin finish and a Patek Philippe service stickers. If the sticker is lifted, a different oxidation of the case can be noticed, indicating the sticker has been in place for a long time. Minor surface marks are present throughout the watch.
DIAL: the dial is in very good condition. The city ring features strong graphics and no relevant signs of tarnishing/oxidation. The same is true for the 24-hour ring. The enamel disc features strong colors and is in virtually perfect condition, with the exception of a very minor - practically invisible to the naked eye - surface chip just below the "PP" of PHILIPPE. The back of the enamel presents the full movement number 931072 and the Cottier LC monogram
MOVEMENT: the movement is ticking at the time of cataloguing.The bezel does revolve and snap into place, albeit not perfectly smoothly. A service for oiling and cleaning is suggested.
