This particularly unusual reference 3528\/4 is a wonderful example. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCombining a diamond-set white-gold case, an exceptionally uncommon dial configuration and a beautifully integrated gold bracelet, it represents a fascinating and seldom-seen side of vintage Patek Philippe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-prosemirror-content-type=\"node\" data-prosemirror-node-name=\"paragraph\" data-prosemirror-node-block=\"true\" data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-prosemirror-content-type=\"node\" data-prosemirror-node-name=\"paragraph\" data-prosemirror-node-block=\"true\"\u003eDating from the early 1970s, the 18K white-gold tonneau-shaped case measures approximately 29 × 26 mm. Two delicate rows of diamonds follow the curved sides of the case, framing a silver soleil dial with slender baton markers and elegant hands. At 12, 3, 6 and 9 o'clock, three small diamonds replace the traditional hour markers, creating a beautifully balanced and distinctive appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-prosemirror-content-type=\"node\" data-prosemirror-node-name=\"paragraph\" data-prosemirror-node-block=\"true\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-prosemirror-content-type=\"node\" data-prosemirror-node-name=\"paragraph\" data-prosemirror-node-block=\"true\"\u003eThe dial configuration is particularly rare.

Asprey was also known for supplying watches to the Omani royal family, including special pieces bearing the Khanjar emblem. A fascinating little detail in the history of this already distinctive Patek Philippe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-prosemirror-content-type=\"node\" data-prosemirror-node-name=\"paragraph\" data-prosemirror-node-block=\"true\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-prosemirror-content-type=\"node\" data-prosemirror-node-name=\"paragraph\" data-prosemirror-node-block=\"true\"\u003ePerhaps the most captivating element is the integrated 18K white-gold bracelet. Its finely woven construction and intricate textured finish give it an almost fabric-like appearance, flowing naturally from the case and wrapping elegantly around the wrist. The bracelet shows signs of wear consistent with its age, while retaining its wonderful texture and character. It accommodates a maximum wrist circumference of 18.4 cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-prosemirror-content-type=\"node\" data-prosemirror-node-name=\"paragraph\" data-prosemirror-node-block=\"true\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-prosemirror-content-type=\"node\" data-prosemirror-node-name=\"paragraph\" data-prosemirror-node-block=\"true\"\u003eInside, the manually wound Patek Philippe calibre 175 has been fully serviced by an experienced professional watchmaker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-prosemirror-content-type=\"node\" data-prosemirror-node-name=\"paragraph\" data-prosemirror-node-block=\"true\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-prosemirror-content-type=\"node\" data-prosemirror-node-name=\"paragraph\" data-prosemirror-node-block=\"true\"\u003eFor us, the attraction lies in the beautiful balance between fine watchmaking and jewellery design.
