Lot Essay

The present watch is an attractive example of the reference 425 in platinum with diamond-set dial confirmed by the Extract from the Archives.

Reference 425
Manufacture of reference 425 was launched in 1934, it remained in production until 1960 when it was replaced by the slightly larger reference 2461.

Together with the legendary Calatrava reference 96 it was one of Patek Philippe's most popular wristwatches, its typical Art Deco architectural design serving as inspiration for the firm's other rectangular models of the time. It is fitted with the celebrated rectangular-shaped calibre 9-90, Patek Philippe’s finest non-circular movement of the period.
