Catalogue Essay
Reference 1482 is one of Patek Philippe's rarest rectangular models and to date only six other pieces of this reference are known in pink gold.
Made only during three years in the early 1940s it is immediately recognisable thanks to the prominent triple lugs at the top and bottom of its case.
This example here, with a lovely silvery rose dial, has been in the same collection for over 10 years and has probably only seen one polishing since new. In fact, the hallmark on the right side of the case is very crisp.
