An exceptionally rare and important pink gold wristwatch with four tone pink dial, Breguet numerals and original certificate
Full-Cataloguing
Examples featuring the extraordinary multi-tone dials with oversized Breguet numerals are most certainly the rarest, richest and most complex versions of this reference.
The present example, never before offered at auction, is in virtually mint condition and still features the original certificate from Patek Philippe. The dial, composed of four differently finished shades of rose, shows no signs of cleaning or restoration whatsoever.
Vintage Patek Philippe wristwatches, where aesthetics, condition and rarity are all at their best are the gems collectors are looking for.
