Patek Philippe 18K PG "Top Hat" circa 1950's

        Switzerland
        1950s

Patek Philippe 18K PG "Top Hat" circa 1950's. 25 X 39mm rectangular case. Super mint condition example. Mint case, original silver satin dial with applied rose gold indexes and hands. Domed crystal, rose gold Patek Philippe & Co crown. Stunning and superb example of this classic. This model is frequently seen in yellow gold and is much rarer in the current rose gold version.

friend of a friend bought this the other day. dont think they paid that much for it either. on the back it states 1937.

Rolex Prince?

Saw this last night.


Only listing because it's owned by a forum member who's moved to NYC.

Rolex Prince?

scary what it could be worth if it is a prince, the domed glass looked of a very high quality but i thought the casing should have been of a higher grade or silver but i didnt know the model so i didnt know what to expect. might see what he wants for it :-)

the panerai looks so sleek.

Whoop whoop - well worth the wait!

A modern 'classic' - weighs a ton

beautiful, love the upside down numbers but not the big chavy BR on the strap

A few years old and as tough as they get.

update:

this is the movement and closer pics of the case. sadly it wasn't a prince.

has anyone ever seen Nooka watches.

they look pretty snazzy,however they might be more of a pain than anything.

^^ never seen one of those before but cant imagine why they would be a pain once you get used to the display.
they remind me of the binary watches

Breitlings are also fuckin ugly

When I body doubled for Samuel L Jackson (51st State, Gash, I know) they gave me the biggest freekin Breitling Chronograph ever, weighed an absolute ton. Like the earlier mention it was close to the flanges on my Level hub!

A little tasteless for me.

I did want the limited 007 seamatser a few years ago, would they appreciate at all?

When I body doubled for Samuel L Jackson

You can't just slip this into a conversation with so few details. How did this come about?

They were filming up whilst I lived in Liverpool. I was in a bar where I met a casting director I whilst wearing a Pringle sweater and they thought BINGO this guy looks like he plays golf and asked if I wanted be a part to which I said yes. It's a horrible down hiller from there.

More importantly was my initial question re the 007 seamaster my "Blue Nun moment"??

any seamaster is a good watch

1930's ladies longines i had the opportunity of acquiring earlier this year. white gold and stones unidentified. it was truly beautiful.

Now that is a top anecdote.

That looks Shit.

I look shit too so we'd be perfect together. I think it might be a little too expensive though.

I like this simple thing.. what's the point of the rotating bezel? I've never understood that being a digital boy.

Go play with the noobs or something I want answers from watch geeks.
