Came across this one today, probably mid 30s.

Not much infos however, but I can't figure out if it was franken or not.
Railroad track seems okay, but probably redialed ?
Also I haven't seen those kind of hands before.
Could it be a ladies watch ?

It's too small of a picture to say for sure, but I suspect a redial because the finishes from that era don't hold up so well and the SWISS MADE is usually below the minute/second track. Is the accent over the E in GENÈVE? Does it face the right way? These are also clues.

Caliber 9-90? If so, a very solid movement.

No grave accent as far I can see.

No further infos also. I'll try to get an update tomorrow.

Hasn't the 9-90 a sub second dial ?

Not a good sign

Yes, it could - but a lot of calibers had their second hands (and all the accompanying parts) removed in the interest of making the watch thinner. Can't tell you for sure if the 9-90 was one of those since I'm not that well versed in Patek.
