This amazing find from a Florida estate sale has history in the Patek Philippe archives and is traceable to the original owner. A beautiful early 1900s 18K gold timepiece constructed of the finest materials lies broken in a desk, we find an overwound watch with a bent balance staff and some dubious work beneath.
There's nothing else for it, we either have to find a unicorn balance staff or make one ourselves on the watchmaker's lathe. We didn't find one.
Sit back and join us in restoring this wonderful piece of history back to life and enjoy some of the mishaps on the way.
