Lot Essay

With Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present watch with silvered dial and raised gold markers in 1943 and its subsequent sale on 17 December 1943. Furthermore delivered with a copy of Patek Philippe's service invoice dated 5 July 2010.

Consigned by the original owner, the watch has never been offered at auction before and is thought to be one of only three examples of a reference 1509 in yellow gold with such a two-tone silvered dial known to exist to date.

It is distinguished by its charismatic two-tone silvered dial which over time has taken an attractive champagne patina and the very good overall condition as recently overhauled by Patek Philippe in Geneva.

Reference 1509 was in production from 1941 until the early 1950s.
