Vintage Cool.

Orlando Watch Company
Vintage Patek Philippe Ref 4298.  18K yellow gold case with diamond bezel and coral dial.

We love fashion and we love vintage timepieces.  So you can only imagine how we (us girls) felt when we got this stunning vintage Patek Philippe in.

Vintage timepieces, mens or lady's, paired with a classic outfit or an on trend piece, really makes the whole outfit look that much better. That's why we love vintage so much.

You really can't go wrong with wearing something from Patek Phillipe, which is considered the best watch company in the world.  But any fun vintage watch will work.



This 18K yellow gold cushion shaped case is set with 104 diamonds and a coral accent piece. Coral dial with gold hands and a manual winding movement, Caliber 250.  Ref. 4298.

Watch Case Refinishing - Back to New

An Audemars Piguet Royal Oak OffShore being prepared for a full case & bracelet refinishing. 
About 20 watches a week go through the refinishing process here at our shop.  Each component that makes up the watch, gets carefully refinished to the original manufacture's style.  We are very meticulous in that we make sure the refinishing style is perfect.  Of course, deep gashes and dings in the material can prevent a perfect refinish.
