Lot Essay
According to research, this ultra-stylish Patek Philippe “Coquillages d’Abondance” model is the only example of this reference in yellow gold known publically to date. A second example, however in pink gold, is in Patek Philippe's prestigious Museum in Geneva (Inv. P-1177, illustrated in Patek Philippe Museum - Patek Philippe Watches, Vol. II, p. 198).
In the absence of any other examples appearing on the international market in over 60 years, it is quite possible, although not certain, that only one piece in yellow and one in pink gold were made.
Of remarkably bold sculptural design inspired by seashells, the total weight of this impressive bracelet is approximately 130 grams.
