This example retains the crisp case edges, sharply defined lugs, and original contours that make such discoveries worth the wait. The steel case comes from François Borgel, a name familiar to collectors of vintage Patek Philippe and a compelling detail for anyone interested in the construction of these early wristwatches.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAt 35mm, the round case offers a substantial presence for the period, in a configuration less often encountered than its smaller counterparts.
