Long Live the 240!
Based on the 4:00 second hand there appears to be a new version of the venerable 240 in the Cubitus collection. The 240 has been described as a milestone and a workhorse or overused and undersized. Patek Philippe has never made a simple double disk date b...
Excellent deduction regarding the 4 o'clock second hand.
Yes, all 240 calibers are designed to accommodate a second hand at the 4 o'clock position!

Definitely a treat on the back as well Thanks for sharing
