Accompanied by Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present watch in 1943 and its subsequent sale on 17 November 1943.

Reference 516 was launched in 1939 and it is thought that the present watch has never been offered at auction before. Furthermore it appears that less than 10 example of this reference in yellow gold have appeared in public.

For an example of reference 516 in platinum and pink gold see lot 141 in this sale.
