Patravi is Carl F. Bucherer’s flagship model that has served as an epitome of success since its introduction while also being a channel of the brand’s sustainable commitments. Each iteration within the Patravi line makes for a desirable piece of luxury, and this reference 00.10626.08.63.01 shines a little extra with its unusual shape and interesting complications.

This Patravi T-ChronoGrade comes with a stainless steel case rendered in a tonneau shape measuring 46mm x 43mm. The notably large and hefty case plays the perfect backdrop to the silver dial that carries a slew of information. In addition to the running seconds and 30-minute chronograph sub-counters at three and nine o’clock positions, the watch also brings a unique retrograde hour counter between six and seven. Sitting close to these sub-registers at six o’clock is the power reserve indicator that also spotlights the automatic calibre 1902’s flyback chronograph mechanism through a clear text on its periphery. Functions like these exhibit the watch’s utility-focused approach, and the the integration of annual calendar further hammers it home. A big date aperture at 12 and an overlapping month window between four and five give the watch functional punctuation.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
