Accompanied by Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present watch with applied gold hour markers and tachymetre scale in 1952 and its subsequent sale on 22 December 1953.

It has never been offered in public before.

Reference 533 was introduced into the market in 1937 and is distinguished by the elegant look of its Calatrava case with the typical flat bezel. This model was in production until 1956. Interestingly, the majority was cased in pink gold.

Reference 533 is illustrated in Patek Philippe Wristwatches by Martin Huber & Alan Banbery, second edition, p. 264.
