Accessories
With Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives
confirming production of the present watch
with silvered dial in 1941 and its subsequent
sale on 29 May 1941. Furthermore delivered
with Patek Philippe pouch and fitted
presentation box.
Reference 565 has increased in popularity
over recent years, due to its large
proportions and screw down case back
and those examples found in stainless
steel are particularly sought after. There
is an unusual feature of the present
watch in that the last four digits of the
case number appear between the lugs at
6 o’clock. This numbering practice is not
so common with Patek Philippe watches,
where the last three digits can sometimes
be found in the inside of the lug.
