Are Patek Philippe silver dials solid silver?
1 Answer
No, Patek Philippe silver dials are not solid silver. The Swiss watchmaker’s dials are most frequently made of brass. The use of the word “silver” in describing a Patek Philippe silver-dial watch is intended to refer to its color, which usually owes to finishing that involves a galvanic painting or enameling process.
