Catalogue Essay
The present Patek Philippe reference 2584 in yellow gold impresses with its overall superb condition with full case, subtly facetted lugs, crisp hallmark on the lug and striking glossy black dial.
Reference 2584 was produced for a short period making it a rare model amongst Patek Philippe time-only wristwatches. In fact only 49 reference 2584 are known of which the present model is the second one with black dial to appear on the market.
This model is powered by the now iconic automatic Patek Philippe caliber 12-600, considered by the cognoscenti as being the most beautiful vintage automatic wristwatch movement ever designed. It is not only finished to the highest degree as attested by the Geneva seal but it also features a Gyromax balance and an 18K gold guilloché rotor.
Furthermore, the reference 2584 features an ingenious snap on back with raised borders fitting snugly into the case and thus increasing the water resistance. Its superb condition, striking combination of yellow gold case and black dial combined with its ultimate rarity make the present reference 2584 a superb addition to any connoisseur's collection.
