Reference 2481 was officially introduced into the market in 1950. With its 37mm case diameter and with the nickname "King Size," it is one of the largest vintage Patek Philippe ever produced, a trait that is nowadays making this model more and more sought-after.
It is of no surprise with its generous case proportions and very attractive design that examples of Ref. 2481 were worn by some very important people; French president, Charles de Gaulle, Marchal Tito, the president of Yugoslavia as well as the King of Saudia Arabia.
The present example is made even more desirable by its double-signed dial, displaying the retailer signature, Hausmann & Co.
Hausmann & Co. was founded in Rome in 1794 by Ernst Hausmann, a young German clockmaker and his friend and partner Hermann Frielingsdorf. The firm is still residing in the same premises in Rome's historical centre and represents the world's most prestigious watch and clock manufacturers.
Offered fresh to market, according to research this watch is the only reference 2481J retailed by Hausmann & Co. to appear in the market to date.
