Lot Essay

With Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present watch with silvered dial, raised hour markers in gold and engraved inscription "C.A.L. 1914-1938" on the case back in 1938 and its subsequent sale on 16 December 1938.

Reference 643, an epitome of Art Deco design, was launched around 1938 and remained in production during a very short period of time only. Fresh to the market, the present watch is believed to the only example of this reference to have appeared in public to date.

It is distinguished by the highly attractive two-tone silvered dial, the unusual case design and the very good overall condition.
