Very rare Patek Philippe Calatrava in 18K yellow gold, reference 2526, from 1955. The iconic reference 2526 was introduced in 1952 and represents the first major innovation at Patek Philippe. It is in fact equipped with the first automatic movement, the very famous caliber 12-600. To crown the launch of its first automatic watch, Patek decided to create an enamel dial in an inimitable creamy white on a silver base. At the time, the creation of these enamel dials (along with the need to pierce the delicate surface to apply the indices) resulted in around 9 out of 10 pieces being discarded. To overcome the difficulties in production, Patek later decided that the indices should simply be glued on. This has led to the division of these dials into the first series or Mark i (i.e. with applied indexes) and the second series or Mark ii (applied indexes), with collectors particularly lusting after the first type of dial, of which this beautiful example is one! The watch is in excellent condition.
The leather strap is a genuine "herzog" bio calfskin strap. The original Patek Philippe pin buckle is of course included. The inside of the box shows a few signs of wear due to its age. |
