With Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present watch with Breguet numerals and luminous dots in 1949 and its subsequent sale on 29 September 1950.
This watch is an exceedingly rare example of a reference 565 in stainless steel, featuring a silvered dial with the much sought after Breguet numerals, confirmed by the Extract from the Archives, luminous accents and luminous hands. Research has revealed that only 8 other examples of this model in steel with such a dial have been offered in public to date.
Reference 565, the first large water-resistant watch featuring a two-piece case with screw back and dust cover, was available with either subsidiary or sweep centre seconds. The timelessly modern design of reference 565 served as inspiration for the creation of the 2006 stainless steel inaugural reference 5565.
This example is fitted with the celebrated calibre 12'''SC with indirect centre seconds. This ébauche was the result of Victorin Piguet's and Patek Philippe's collaboration, where the centre seconds mechanism was ingeniously added to the existing 12'''120 "subsidiary seconds" movement.
