If you’re a fan of military watches — especially those from the 1940s through the 1960s — you’ll recognize these dial attributes right away!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eHowever, Patek has combined these distinctly utilitarian design features with a complicated movement. Their automatic winding Calibre 240 PS IRM C LU — which incorporates a micro-rotor and Geneva striping and is visible via a sapphire caseback — powers a running seconds totalizer at 4 o’clock, a combination moon phase and date display at 7 o’clock, and a power reserve indicator between 10 and 11 o’clock.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWhile it's two major steel siblings, the Nautilus and Aquanaut, have ascended to heights that remain untouchable for most, this overlooked sibling remains largely overlooked.\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eCombined with its fantastic integrated bracelet design, this unusual, complicated neo-vintage Patek is perfect for the discerning collector who wants a special piece that will nevertheless fly under the radar.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eIf that someone is you, nab this one before someone else has the same idea! \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Patek Philippe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40223275843671,"sku":"40930216","price":29900.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/1255\/files\/AS08227_40930216_PATEKPHILIPPE_NEPTUNEMOONPHASE_5085_9b075e2e-d425-41ae-a9fe-ebb5411cadf0.jpg?v=1691070643","url":"https:\/\/www.analogshift.com\/products\/patek-philippe-neptune-moonphase-as08227","provider":"Analog:Shift","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
