Ref. 3760

Well, that's very interesting. Antiquorum usually checks the movements of the watches they sell ...

I was surprised myself that there was no mentioning of the movement - just this lapidar remark towards "quartz standardization", whatever that means.

Maybe someone with more insight can shed some light on the 3760? An extract from the archives of Patek Philippe in Geneva would definately solve the mistery.

Best regards

Eric

I wonder if the dimensions of the case reflect the "golden ratio" 1 to 1.618 like the Golden Ellipse. Beautiful classic watch!

Dial is gold and I am not sure to understand the meaning of "quartz standardization" because this is a mechanical manual movement ! Regards Paul

I suspect this is the movement rather than a quartz It is a very thin movement julian

Will ask for an extract to PP

Thanks to Eric & Julian. Yes it must be a very thin movement , thickness of the watch 3.5mm
