These watches have characteristics such as wolftooth winding wheels, patent signature "Pat. Jan. 13, 1891", gold wheel train, cam type fine adjusting device and a counterpoised "Moustache" lever. The prestige of the Patek brand was such that the word "Patek" was regarded as a synonym for any watch, regardless whether it was made by Patek Philippe or not.
