Lot Essay

With Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present watch in 1958 and its subsequent sale on 19 May 1959. Furthermore accompanied by Gübelin fitted red presentation box.

The present watch is distinguished by its very good and original overall condition, the signature Gübelin, one of Patek Philippe's prestigious retailers in Switzerland, and the period Gübelin presentation box.

Reference 2508 is undoubtedly one of Patek Philippe's most popular "time only" wristwatches. Its plain 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.

Reference 2508 was launched in 1951 and remained in production until around 1960. The model is illustrated in Patek Philippe Wristwatches by Martin Huber & Alan Banbery, 2nd edition, p. 204, pl. 328.
