Bracelet
This rare watch has a double signed silver dial, originally retailed by Gubelin. The woven bracelet is signed by Jean Pierre Ecoffe, a famous and esteemed European jeweler known for making intricate and avant garde bracelets. Jean Pierre Ecoffey specialized in the highest quality of bracelet making.
Their work can be identified by the JPE stamp on the clasp. JPE was known for making jewelry and bracelets for Patek Philippe during the second half of the 20th century. JPE made the most sophisticated and complicated bracelets for Patek Philippe. This fine mesh bracelet feels more like fabric rather than metal, as it was made by Jean Pierre Ecoffey’s workshop.

The watch has signs of previous use in the form of light scratches on the bezel, crystal, and case back. The band is in great condition with few signs of wear.
An interesting and rare watch fit for a collection.
