Dial looks right, movement looks right, case looks right. You need a couple more photos. A few more photos of the case from different angles might help. Crown is more than likley with out the cross. There should be a REF # on the inside of the case back, this will tell you a lot. It looks like it could be one of the following Ref #'s:
2416
2503
2404
2415
2417

If anything, I’d err on the side of it being a franken watch at best.
Movement could be genuine (L90 or derivative?), but I’m not convinced by the rest.
Not sure if it’s trying to mimic a 425 or 2503 “Bunny Lugs”.

9-90 caliber, if genuine

Does not look genuine to me, but I'm not familiar with vintage Pateks. The quality just doesn't look right. Compare it to a ref 2554 from the 50s and you'll see what I mean.

Only thing I have found close to it was this 1947. Reference 2403.

They don't make fakes with movements like that, esp on these unpopular vintage models, I'd say it's genuine.

No way an expert, but I'm not liking the placement and alignment of the hour indices at all which looks very sloppy to me.

Most like ref 2403 case and movement (9-90)
Can get an extraxt from archives with case and movement number
Some of these early pieces did not have reference number on case back ( not sure why)

Dial is redone

Nice piece
