The dial furthermore features incredibly strong enamel graphics, with the “accent” incredibly strong and apparent above the Patek Philippe Genève signature. There are no losses to the enamel, attesting to the completely untouched condition of the dial. One could furthermore easily wax lyrical about the case, which is sharp throughout. There is an incredibly crisp “step” between the bezel and the rest of the case, attesting to its crisp state of preservation. Manufactured in 1950, this example is a superlative second series “Tasti Tondi” in every sense, delighting with its sheer rarity, magnifcent condition and utmost beauty.
