Wow buddy! A double-signed Beyer Calatrava. It’s a gen isn’t it?

Nah mate, I wish. This was a Bentima watch that identified as a Patek so I helped them transition, because I’m woke as shit. I bought the watch because the I saw that the case had Calatrava potential.

I scrubbed out the old dial font (damaging the dial paint significantly) and then put on decals that I designed (all the font plus the sectors in the sub seconds)+ bake in the oven. Then I messed up the keyless, so I had to tinker around to seewhat the heck was going on with this AS1525 old movement. Managed to fix it in the end.

I tried to use period correct fonts for Patek and Beyer, but nothing I can do for the inappropriate 12 and 6 style. But that’s something I can live with :)

That is stunning!
Forgive me I’m new to the Patek thread (recovering longtime Panerai addict), but is that a white ceramic Nautilus and what is it’s proper name?
Thanks!

Patek Switch edition.

Yeah I thought so. The case has the Calatrava look but lugs/crown combi was different than anything I’ve seen.

What a fantastic idea and a real connoisseur you are. Beyer vintage Pateks are real popular Amongst collectors. Frequently selling at crazy prices.

Its a marvellous watch. Can’t come anywhere near a gen. So this is the closest it’s possible to get.
