Lot Essay

The epitome of understated elegance, the present shells shape bracelet watch is chic as well as functional. The dial is completely invisible, cleverly concealed within the stunning thick gold bracelet. Manufactured in 1954, it represents the mid-century style which is as wearable today as it was over 70 years ago.

According to our research, the present timepiece is one of only two known examples of the reference 2252-1 in yellow gold, the second being part of the Patek Philippe Museum Collection.
