With Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present watch in 1937 and its subsequent sale on 16 October 1937.
Reference 490 is a fine example of Patek Philippe's Art Deco curvex-type wristwatches, in production from 1936 until 1948. The present watch is preserved in very good overall condition.
The modern, yet typical Art Deco style case was designed to fit around the wrist and is also called "Railway" because of its aerodynamic look and the stepped sides. With its impressive overall length of 43 mm., it is thought to be one of Patek Philippe's longest rectangular wristwatches in stainless steel made to date.
The watch is prominently illustrated and described in Patek Philippe Steel Watches by John Goldberger, pp. 150-151.
