Accompanied by Patek Philippe Extrait des Registres confirming manufacture of this watch with Breguet and luminous dot numerals in 1948 and its subsequent sale on 22 September 1949.

The production of reference 96 was launched in 1932. The present watch with its combination of several rare features such as stainless steel case, indirect centre seconds, Breguet numerals and luminous dots can be considered as highly attractive for the keen collector.

A similar watch is illustrated in Patek Philippe Wristwatches by Martin Huber & Alan Banbery, 2nd edition, p. 183.
