Here is your chance to own one of the authorized venders showroom clock displays, a true piece of wrist watch history. The clocks movement is fully mechanical, 8-day movement (it will keep time for 8 days once it has been wound). There are several pictures below showing the clocks complicated and intricate mechanical gearing system which is 18k gold overlaid risen off the base of the inner wood case, standing on four 18k gold overlaid pillars. The movement controls the clocks minute and hour hands along with the seconds sub-dial found at the 12 o’clock position. The movement features a Westminster chime via the bells located behind the movement which also has an automatic night shut off feature.
The Patek Philippe dial is in white and is accented by the 18k gold tone bezel. It has the Roman numerals hour markers along with the seconds indicators. The sub-dial located at the 12 o’clock position features the Calatrava at the 60 second position. The classic indicator hands are in black matching steel. Housing this magnificent clock is the solid rich and dark hardwood with black and gold accented finsihes. The clocks case which permits a full 360 degree view since all sides including the top of the case are glass. The front and the back can be opened, in order to access the dial when needed to be wound by using the key and the back for the movement when servicing is required.
Remember that this clock is not brand new, it’s pre-owned and about 4 years old. I’ve recently had the movement fully serviced and cleaned and I absolutely guarantee that the clock keeps accurate time. This clock is meant for the authorized watch sellers showroom as a promotional advertising timepiece and it was never offered as a retail clock to the public. You could not buy this clock from any website, catalogue or store. It’s sole purpose is for commercial advertising use. If you’re not an authorized watch dealer, this clock should not interest you unless you merely want to have it for your own personal use in your home or office.
