Catalogue Essay
Preserved in exceptional and impressive condition, the present wristwatch is incredibly large and contemporary in appearance, particularly when one takes into account the date of manufacture. The case is wonderfully crisp, with a sharp hallmark beneath the lug. The contrast between the polished and satin finishes are very striking. Furthermore, the two-tone dial is preserved in excellent condition with a hard enamel signature that is highly legible and raised.
Patek Philippe produced the reference 2482 from 1950, and ceased production around 1960. At the time of manufacture, it was an anomaly in Patek Philippe's line of production due to its size. It was fitted with the 27 SC movement, which was a novelty at the time.
