Footnotes
These watches were made to order for the company IOS, Investors Overseas Services Limited, themselves a major investor of Patek Philippe. If an IOS trader surpassed his turnover threshold of $1 million dollars, he would receive one of these watches in recognition and reward. The production number has never officially been disclosed, but it thought to be around 1500 watches.
