拍品專文

Accompanied by Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present watch with black dial and applied lapped indexes in 1954 and its subsequent sale on 17 March 1955.

It is thought that this watch has never been offered in public before and is one of only eight examples of reference 2455 in yellow gold known to have appeared at auction to date.

Production of reference 2546 was launched in 1954, the same year when the present watch was made. It is interesting to mention that the Gay Frères bracelet is stamped 4.54, indicating that it was manufactured during the last quarter of 1954.
