Lot Essay

In production only between 1943 and 1950, this model is a very elegant and charming vintage Patek Philippe creation, furthermore sporting a large-for-the-time 36 mm. case. It is quite rare to find models from the first half of the past century exceeding 35 mm. in diameter, as fashion at the time was oriented toward smaller sizes.

The present piece is offered in absolutely original condition; the intense champagne patina present on the dial is both certification of its unrestored nature, and also a remarkable boost to the attractiveness and vintage vibe of this distinguished timepiece.
