wobble bent on a 752,000$ Patek Philippe! #Patek Philippe USA

@1:55 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvoVr5ZANw0

Just noticed among others that the second hand's axle was bent. Surprising and shocking for that price tag.
Thought i could share that sequence with our community to read some opinion/explanation.
Cheers.

Great vid. Thanks. Well looks like I won’t apply for the piece since the small second hand in the sundial is on crooked. Lol.

Roughly $750,000 in the USA. I do not know how well these sell but the perpetuals with the retrograde date have never done well. The idea is the minute repeater which sounds the best with the least complications. Clearly, the way to go. A 3939H would be my preference.

Niiice! Wanted one of those for many years back in the day. Almost got a black dial 3939RG version... yet decided otherwise. Nowadays the 3939H is just soooo small tho by modern standards. Still, one of my fave Patek dials. The Harrods ltd. ed. Calatrava (36 made) was close to the same dial config, and did have that here for a while.
