Reference 865 / 68 is a modern interpretation of Patek ’ s skilled art using beautiful case decorations together with enamel and engineturning . The present watch is in almost pristine condition and seldom do we see hunting case examples at auction . The watch is decorated with a rich royal blue enamel and hand engraved patterns . There are only a very few craftsman left today who can create watches of this caliber .
Accessories With Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present watch with white lacquer dial and black Roman numerals in 1988 and its subsequent sale on 28 June 1990 .
