A family member was given this, but I'm guessing it's a fake....? Any way of telling from the photos? Thanks.

Patek are well known for their agricultural movements, clunky second hands and John Bull dial printing style. Looks good to me.

That's the exact model I've been looking for, would you consider taking £15k for it?

That’s the new white gold version, bobbybee – haven’t you been keeping up with the latest going-ons?

If you look really closely you'll see that the font they've used for the seconds at five second intervals is incorrect. Also the font used for AUTOMATIC is slightly too large. Other than that you'd never be able to tell.

Don't know much about Patek's but "GENUINE LEATHER" cant be a good sign surely.

I know nothing about PP's.
But it does look horrifically cheap and nasty.

The number in the date window is off-set to the right ... but also everything else too.
