This watch is accompanied by an Extract from the Archives confirming production of this watch in 1958 and its subsequent sale on 27 October 1959.
Model 2508 is today amongst the most popular "time only" wristwatches by Patek Philippe. Its simple but yet masculine and sporty look make it a great collector's watch, especially since its case proportions are very much identical to the much celebrated screw back chronograph, reference 1463.
To the best of our knowledge, no more than 10 examples of reference 2508 in stainless less have appeared at auction to date; the present watch has never been offered at auction before.
Reference 2508 was launched in 1951 and in production until 1960. The model is illustrated in Patek Philippe Wristwatches by Martin Huber & Alan Banbery, second edition, p. 204, pl. 328.
