Lot Essay

Manufacture of reference 2426 was launched in 1947.

Freccero & Cia., Montevideo
The firm was originally founded as a jewellery retailer in 1868 by Oscar Spangerberg of German origin who a few years later sold it to his employee Francisco J. Freccero. In 1908, Freccero & Cia. moved to 25 de Mayo in Montevideo. Initially focusing on jewellery, the descendants of Francisco Freccero decided to expand into watches, becoming the sole authorized retailer of Patek Philippe in Montevideo in 1929, a relationship that lasted for 70 years and resulted in the sale of some of the most exclusive and unique retailer signed watches of the 20th century.
