Silver dials are still more affordably priced, so it might be a good idea to acquire one now.\u003cbr\u003eA noteworthy aspect of this watch is its excellent condition. The dial and hands, components that typically deteriorate in vintage watches, have miraculously suffered almost no degradation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe case has minor scratches but is in very good overall condition with few major dents or scratches.\u003cbr\u003eThere is almost no thinning of the case or rounding of its shape. The edges are also very clean. The watch had a very clean finish when acquired, and the polishing remains consistent with that original finish. (The finish is exceptionally beautiful).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe dial, hands, and crystal are all clean, with almost no dirt or scratches.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe buckle should originally be stainless steel, but as we did not have it in stock, we have fitted a genuine WG buckle of the current type.\u003cbr\u003eMaintained by our store.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e《Product Details》\u003cbr\u003eBrand Name: Patek Philippe\u003cbr\u003eProduct Name: Calatrava Ref. 3579 C-Line\u003cbr\u003eMovement: Manual winding\u003cbr\u003eCaliber: Patek Cal. 23-300 PM\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: SS\u003cbr\u003eColor: Silver\u003cbr\u003eCase Diameter: Approx. 33mm (W) x 38mm (H), fits wrists up to 18cm\u003cbr\u003eBuckle: Genuine 18k\u003cbr\u003eStrap: New aftermarket\u003cbr\u003eAccessories: Patek Philippe cushion case, pouch, seal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWithin ±10 seconds measured flat.\u003cbr\u003eOverhauled.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ante Official select","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887362650212,"sku":"BASE-MEN-76579636","price":1680000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0790\/6371\/1844\/files\/68138e8fb4ae2838c1f80a0298e957be.jpg?v=1785555482","url":"https:\/\/antewatchtokyo.com\/en-jp\/products\/base-men-76579636","provider":"Ante","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
