With Patek Philippe Certificate of Origin and Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present watch with gold hour markers in 1956 and its subsequent sale on 21 April 1958.

Reference 2583, considered one of Patek Philippe's rarest early automatic wristwatches, was introduced into the market in 1958. It was fitted with Patek Philippe's legendary calibre 12-600 AT which was granted Swiss patent No. 289758 in 1953 for "a self-winding mechanism for a wristwatch movement using the energy supplied by a rotary mass causing an eccentric part to transmit a swinging movement to an organ of the mechanism".

Fresh to the market, the present watch is believed to be one of only seven examples of a reference 2583 in yellow gold to appear in public to date. The rarity of this watch is further enhanced by the presence of the original certificate.
