The desirability of the reference 1463, Patek Philippe’s only vintage chronograph with a ‘water-resistant’ case and round chronograph pushers, has never ceased. Around 400 pieces were made in yellow gold.
Considered one the most beautifully designed chronographs of the mid-20th century, reference 1463 is Patek Philippe's regular production vintage chronograph model (aside from the 1563) with screw back case and round pushers. The third series case of the present watch displays a crisp hallmark between the lower lugs. Made by Taubert (formerly Fréres Borgel), it is water and dust resistant, a soft-iron dust cap also protects the movement. The overall look of this resplendent timepiece with the raised hard enamelled signatures and scales leaves no doubt that reference 1463 in yellow gold is one of Patek Philippe’s all-time classics and one of the ultimate vintage chronographs for the collector to own.
Reference 1463
Reference 1463, Patek Philippe's only vintage chronograph model with screw back case and round pushers, was produced from 1940 until the mid-1960s. Even though the notion of 'sports watch' is probably an invention of the late 20th century, there is certainly some explanation if one relates the model to this term. In fact, for over half a century there hasn't been any other model by Patek Philippe that better exemplifies the needs of a modern society enjoying outdoor activities and in particular sport during its spare time. In fact, whereas the chronograph movement responds to the sportsman's needs, the beautifully sculpted water-resistant case also protects it from humidity and dust.
