Square Borgel Case 27mm

How it wears
Wears larger than its 27 mm case suggests
Patek Philippe Square Borgel Case 27mm measures 37 mm lug-to-lug on a 27 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.37 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 95% of the 7,421 watches in this database and shorter than 92% of the 79 Patek Philippe watches listed.
A flat wrist width of 42 mm (1.65 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 50 mm (1.97 in) it starts to look compact. Below 37 mm (1.46 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.
