Lot Essay

The reference 429⁄1 is not only an excellent representation of the 1930s but is also perhaps one of the rarest references ever made by Patek Philippe. The stepped case with a thin rose gold filet perfectly harmonizes with the rose gold Breguet numerals and feuille hands.

The typical Art Deco architectural design served as inspiration for the firm’s other rectangular models of the time. Furthermore, it is fitted with the celebrated rectangular-shaped calibre 9'''90, Patek Philippe’s finest non-circular movement of the period.
