Small series of photos of a complete overhaul of the mechanics of this PP 5167.
the bridges and the rotor have been treated with Alphaone liquid in stasis in a petrol tanker to make them shine as much as possible, clearly a result not equal to the hand-finished components of the great Patek Philippe but clearly a less raw and dull result than how it leaves the factory from the 3KF. During the reassembly and lubrication phase, the escapement group and other parts of the mechanics were treated with Episurf-Neo.
the case has undergone the removal of the "horns" not present on the original model, the resumption of the satin finish with the correct grain, the re-polishing of the bevels, the assembly of the glass using UV glue + Teflon joint.
bracelet and clasp have been washed and the latter improved the overall finish.
Rubber B bracelet washed and degreased.
