Description
This is an automatically translated text.
Bernie Cornfeld was a former social worker turned investment guru who founded ios, Investors Overseas Services. In its heyday in the 1960s, his investment firm controlled over $2.5 billion in assets and had over 15,000 people in its sales force. Its slogan was " Do you sincerely want to be rich ?", and it rewarded its top salespeople very well for selling the dream. When a salesman reached $1 million in sales, he was rewarded with a customized Patek Philippe ref. 3565/1J, an automatic watch with a yellow gold bracelet with the back engraved: 'Million Dollar Associate'. Female salesmen were awarded a ref. 855/1J, a ladies' pocket watch in yellow gold and diamonds. Produced from 1968 to 1971, this Calatrava was made especially for Cornfeld and ios as a corporate incentive gift. Over 1,000 examples of this reference were made, making it one of the largest corporate orders in the history of Patek Philippe. With an elegant and powerful caliber 27-460 automatic movement with 37 jewels, Ref. 3565/1 was made for both function and beauty. Even the date at 3 o'clock was a practical complication courtesy of this caliber. The cases for this reference were all made by Baumgartner. The bracelet was welded to the case without lugs and had a special buckle like a belt loop with a steel claw retainer. Not a typical bracelet system for Patek Philippe, but it looked elegant closed on the wrist, despite hiding the "secret" sharp teeth underneath. and, of course, the clasps had an engraved ios logo and Patek Philippe logo. the dials were made by Stern Freres and often had another ios logo. The gold dial with black Roman numerals was classic, bold and very elegant for the late 1960s in its overall aesthetic. One can imagine this was the perfect watch for the club nights and drug infused celebrations of the era. Diameter. 35mm. Accompanied by Extract of the Archives.
