Lot Essay

Accompanied by Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present watch with silvered and champagne dial and gold Breguet numerals in 1941 and its subsequent sale on 19 December 1941.

This watch has never been offered in public before and is thought to be one of only four examples of reference 1504 in yellow gold known to date and furthermore the only one fitted with silvered and champagne dial and Breguet numerals.

Examples of reference 1504, introduced into the market in 1941, are extremely rare. The particularity of the present watch however is its most unusual, charismatic two-tone dial with the addition of the highly desirable Breguet numerals, all confirmed by the Extract from the Archives.
