  • Catalogue Essay

They were delivered with either silver grey or like the present watch with slate-grey and black matte dials. The brand updated the model in 2013 with a pink gold version with either white opaline or lacquered black dials. Both have a sporty look that is reminiscent of complicated watches like the reference 5208.

    The present watch comes directly from the original owner and is an attractive example and offered with presentation box and original certificate of origin.

Patek's complicated vintage watches hold the highest number of world records for results achieved at auction compared with any other brand. For collectors, key models include the reference 1518, the world's first serially produced perpetual calendar chronograph, and its successor, the reference 2499.
