Lot Essay

Made in 1946, this watch reveals the optimism of design in the immediate post war period. Flowing architectural lugs, an unusual silvered dial, applied pink gold dot 5 minute markers combined with hard enamel batons and an Arabic 12, all of this adds up to a modern classic that captures the spirit of the late 1940s.

This watch was recently cleaned and serviced by Patek Philippe Geneva, ready to wear for the next owner and the next chapter in this fine 70-year-old’s history.
