With Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming dates of manufacture and sale. The watch is further accompanied by a Cartier certificate of authenticity.
The first Patek Philippe chronograph wristwatch to appear sold on January 20th, 1927 after its production during the previous year. Also in 1927, the watchmakers at Patek Philippe commenced production of their first split seconds chronograph, later to be sold in 1929.
The highly desirable reference 1436 split seconds chronograph first appeared on the market in 1938. Over the 30 years of its production, examples of this reference number were made in yellow gold, pink gold and stainless steel.
In regards to the movement of the reference 1436, Patek Philippe employed two different constructions in regards to the splitting of the seconds hands. Through the late 1940's, the first generation of this model featured a crown that functioned as the button to split and reunite the hands. The second generation of the 1436, such as this present lot, featured a crown fitted with a co-axial push button for the split function.
