Lot Essay

With Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present watch in 1948 and its subsequent sale on June 24th of the following year.

To the best of our knowledge this watch has never before been offered in public.

Reference 2441 began production in 1948 until about 1955, making approximately only 200 pieces total. This model is often referred to as the Eiffel Tower, because the distinct flared design resembles the base of the tower.

In 1997, Patek Philippe released the limited edition Pagoda wristwatch to commemorate the inauguration of their new watchmaking center in Geneva. The case design of reference 2441 served as the inspiration for this contemporary production.

Reference 2441 is illustrated in Patek Philippe Wristwatches by M. Huber and A. Banbery, Second Edition, page 142 and plate 205.
