Produced for only a few years between 1941 and 1944, Patek Philippe’s fabled reference 1504 remains virtually unknown to most collectors, with very few having ever seen or even been aware of its existence. It is one of the rarest and most attractive mid-20th-century time-only Patek Philippe wristwatches - According to our research, fewer than ten examples in stainless steel are publicly known.
The beautiful multi-tone dial features Breguet numerals, feuille hands, and a clearly engraved enamel pre-1948 ‘long’ signature. The large subsidiary seconds, also engraved in enamel, dominates almost the entire lower half of the dial.
The present timepiece, crafted in stainless steel, is an exciting prospect for collectors of the rarest vintage Patek Philippe watches. Remarkably, it has survived in wonderful condition for over 80 years since its manufacture.
The overall aesthetic is both classic and timeless. Produced at the height of World War II, its design is austere yet undeniably luxurious. The war years were a fascinating period for Patek Philippe, and despite the hostilities in Europe, the company’s spirit of innovation remained undiminished.
