Catalogue Essay
Reference 2514/1 is a typical representative of Patek Philippe's generous and more lavish 1950s design. The case, a softly rounded square, features four elegant drop-shaped lugs. The present example is one of just over a dozen of watches known to date of this reference. Its silvered dial has a wonderful shine and both the signature and minute markings are raised in black enamel.Serviced at Patek Philippe over a decade ago, it has not been worn since then.
