    Lot Essay

    Accompanied by a Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present watch in 1952 and its subsequent sale on April 16th of the following year.

    Reference 2452 was made in two series, the first, such as the present watch, with calibre 10'''200 from 1949 until around 1951. Production of the second series featuring calibre 12'''400, started in 1950 and was discontinued around 1958.

    To the best of our knowledge this watch has never before been offered in public.
