Catalogue Essay
- Following the nautical theme of the Nautilus, the Neptune was the next in line as Patek Philippe’s new luxury sports model, launched in 1996. Ideal for leisure, the elegant Neptune is, at the same time, the perfect dress watch.
- The present example is from circa 1998. Drawing from the God of the Sea, its bracelet links resemble fish scales and is adorned with Roman numerals on its ribbed white dial. Sized in a petite 27mm diameter case, this stainless steel wristwatch seems larger with over distinctive sized crown guards and a thick engine turned bezel.
- Delivered in excellent overall condition with its original accessories, the present ref. 4880 is fresh-to-the-market and offers collectors a chance to acquire a rare and refined sports model, which was ultimately discontinued in 2005.
