Lot Essay

With a striking aesthetic, the present ladies watch stuns with an articulated 18k yellow and white gold bracelet, which is beautifully dressed with clusters of emeralds, rubies and sapphires. The concealed dial adds further mystique to this possibly unique masterpiece, which was consigned by the original owner who purchased this watch at Gobbi Gioielli, Milano, in 1967. Complete with both its Patek Philippe certificate as well as retailer certificate and presentation box, this is a gem of 1960s production which showcases the manufacturers ability to produce lavish and functional timepieces for the modern lady.

The Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirms this watch was manufactured with 11 sapphires, weighing 0.40 carats, 8 rubies, weighing 0.31 carats, 6 emeralds, weighing 0.16 carats and 8 diamonds, weighing 0.19 carats total.

Nicknamed "Tutti Frutti" by collectors because of the attractive mutli-colored stones which adorn this bracelet watch, to the best of our knowledge this is the first time that this special variation of the reference has ever appeared at auction.
