Finally, a nice Hand Wind Center Sweep Gem!

I asked many and learned the hard truth how and why Patek doesn't make a simple and elegant Hand Wind piece with a center sweep no more and I thought my only alternative is the Richard Lange, a watch I very much would like get if the case is a tad smaller...  

Who could resist such gem

It exudes that warm vintage feel. The ticking is pretty audible and I love that! To wind it and see the second hand moves, wonderful. Mech.

It's a beautiful looking piece. And probably the first manual wind with a second hand that I have seen. Wear it with the best of health. Regards Tony

Thanks Tony! It'd be on my wrist most of the time
