Catalogue Essay
The present reference 1509 embodies the elegance and classicism of the 1940s. Its expansive dial is enhanced by a slim, well-proportioned case that gives the watch great presence on the wrist. The two-tone silver dial adorned with applied gold dots and even-numbered Arabic numerals echo a time when gentlemen’s sartorial design favored formality and sobriety.
This watch is presented in original, excellent condition, with crisp, well-defined hallmarks, appearing to have spent most of its life in the possession of a gentleman who took the utmost care of his timepiece. Presented with its original Certificate of Origin as well as its original Patek, Philippe & Co envelope, and even the original hand written receipt of CHF 835.- dated July 1943, this watch will certainly appeal to a connoisseur of fine collectors’ timepieces.
