Some days ago, I received this pressrelease of a new Patek Philippe timepiece coming to market in a steel case. A bit of an unusual design by their standards. The guilloche on the dial is stamped as I heard? This model was introduced to mark the finishing of the new manufacture building.
This timepiece will be limited to 1000 pieces only and if you want one, it is most likely too late already…
