16520: Throw another interesting watch into the mix. While general accepted knowledge states that Patrizzi dials occured into the mid 1990’s, I present to the watch collecting public this particular example. A U2 serial dating to ~1999, this was a completely unmolested specemin from the safety deposit box of a watch enthusiast. It has sat in slumber for nearly 10 years, until it was purchased by us late last week. There is no question that this dial is 100% original to the watch, and that it was not chemically altered in any way.
CASE
Unworn.
DIAL
Original black dial with an unevenly aged "Patrizzi" subdials.
