Lot Essay

With Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present watch with silvered dial and raised gold hour markers in 1944 and its subsequent sale on 19 February 1945.

The present example of reference 1536 is distinguished by its overall condition and by the mesmerizing two-tone pink dial. The two-tone effect is achieved by means of a different finish used for the outer potions of the dial. While pink gold vintage Patek Philippe are already a sought-after rarity, pink-on-pink examples are much scarcer. Two-tone pink-on-pink specimens, and especially in a condition like the one of the present timepiece, are to be considered a once in a lifetime opportunity: this previously unknown timepiece becomes the third example only to appear on the market with this extremely appealing configuration.
