The dial would work for either a 530 or a 1463, both of which had a number of dial and case variances, but nothing I’ve found is really close enough. The Seagull 1963 has come closest to making a passable 1463 (and obviously shares the same movement so is perfect in that respect) but the bezel is just too thin!

DC I find the case to be very very close to the 530, appart from the dial differences but as you said there was numbers of them : https://www.phillips.com/detail/PATEK-PHILIPPE/CH080016/69 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also the pushers when viewed from the side of the case should be rectangular but the rep pushers are rounded at each end. It just bugs me!! DC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure what version it is, but my mate has one the same and there are subtle differences between them. It was actually after seeing yours that made me get it although had to get a custom strap for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mine is REALLY brown, like a warm brown colour, it bugs me... yours look really grey brown which is kinda what the gen is!! Mine is a custom strap too from Donerix back in the day if I recall!
