Further Details
“Pink on pink” is not a phrase that one would expect to hear in the masculine world of watch collectors, but in the realm of Patek Philippe it proves to not only be a highly attractive combination but also an exceptionally desirable and coveted one with the brand's most distinguished collectors.

Coupled with the beautiful design of the references 570, which was introduced in 1938 and existed for more than 35 years until 1972, on the large diameter time-only watch with minimalist aesthetics and flat bezels, it truly is striking.

Offered with Extract of Archives confirming rose dial and presented in remarkable condition with incredibly well preserved case featuring sharp edges, clear hallmarks and original finish throughout, together with its remarkable dial showing no signs of aging or damage, it is a great privilege to be able to offer this watch for what is believed to be the first time in the market emerging from a long term collection.
