17''' LEP PS IRM

About the Patek Philippe 17''' LEP PS IRM

A Lépine movement sets the small seconds at 6 o'clock opposite the crown at 12, and this one adds a reserve hand to the dial; it beats at 18,000 vph and is 3.8 mm high, finished under seven bridges to the Patek Philippe Seal. The glossary defines the power reserve it displays.

In the library it powers 16 pocket watches: the ref 972 Lépine Power Reserve in yellow and white gold, and the 982 references from the Rare Handcrafts workshops, with enamelled and engraved cases; 15 of the 16 are limited editions, and 12 are in the 44.1 mm case.

The 17''' LEP PS is the same movement without the indicator, and the 17''' SAV PS the hunter-cased Savonette version.
