  • Catalogue Essay

    In 2019, Patek Philippe hosted their Watch Art Grand Exhibition in Singapore where a showcase of 467 timepieces were displayed over the course of 16 days for collectors and enthusiasts to admire. To commemorate the event, Patek Philippe released a series of limited edition timepieces made exclusively for the Singaporean and Southeast Asian market. Among the special edition timepieces was the release of the firm’s first stainless steel ladies’ Calatrava Pilot Travel Time ref. 7234A-001. Featuring a baby blue sunburst dial, the appeal is further complimented with a matching baby blue synthetic cordura strap with white stitching giving the timepiece a casual yet an elegant look. Turning the watch over, a sapphire display caseback is featured with “Patek Philippe Singapore 2019” subtly inscribed on the surface. Limited to 400 pieces, the reference was one of the most sought after models and was immediately well-received by collectors.

    Offered in “new-old-stock” condition and complete with its full set of accessories, the present Patek Philippe ref. 7234A is truly a stunner. A practical timepiece with an interesting and unorthodox appeal, this is a fantastic timepiece to sport on a daily basis.

  • Artist Biography

    Patek Philippe

    Swiss • 1839

    Since its founding in 1839, this famous Geneva-based firm has been surprising its clientele with superbly crafted timepieces fitted with watchmaking's most prestigious complications. Traditional and conservative designs are found across Patek Philippe's watches made throughout their history — the utmost in understated elegance.

    Well-known for the Graves Supercomplication — a highly complicated pocket watch that was the world’s most complicated watch for 50 years — this family-owned brand has earned a reputation of excellence around the world. 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. Other famous models include perpetual calendars such as the ref. 1526, ref. 3448 and 3450, chronographs such as the reference 130, 530 and 1463, as well as reference 1436 and 1563 split seconds chronographs. Patek is also well-known for their classically styled, time-only "Calatrava" dress watches, and the "Nautilus," an iconic luxury sports watch first introduced in 1976 as the reference 3700 that is still in production today.
