Since they stated that the wheel is squared, nothing can surprise me. :))) More seriously, it is really surprising....
Extract and CoO discrepancy
Browsing a well known auction house preview, I noticed something weird. Having said that 3979 is my holy grail, the Extract pictured states that caliber R27 PS is Manual wind, while the watch is automatic with small rotor. How this kind of discrepancy is ...
Grand old maisons of haute horology are surpringly shoddy at this, sometimes.
Whoever does the actual extract isn't putting the care into it equal to the level of care of a collector who cares.
Such a mistake on an extract from PP is puzzling indeed,
but, if the document is authentic, well, mistakes happen, obviously...
Humans
Anyone who has run a company knows, there is incompetence at every level, and crazy oversights happen no matter what... I would guess it's only that.
