Lot Essay

With Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present watch in 1940 and its subsequent sale on 27 November 1940.Although originally delivered with a silvered dial, the present black dial has probably been added later.

Reference 544 was in production from around 1938 until the late 1940s and available in yellow or pink gold, stainless steel or stainless steel and gold. The present watch is one of less than 17 examples in stainless steel and gold to appear in public to date.

To the best of our knowledge, this timepiece has never been offered in public before.
