This superlative reference 2428 is a particularly stunning specimen. Preserved in spectacular condition, it features an original pink dial that is very warm and has aged beautifully. Most notably, the raised hard enamel signature does not display any losses. The watch is preserved in most probably unpolished condition as evidenced by the crisp and fine bevels on the lugs. A tiny bit of polishing would have dulled the angles, yet this timepiece has remained unspoiled throughout the years. A further testament to its condition is a sharp and crisp hallmark that is stamped beneath the lug.

Most importantly, the present timepiece is accompanied by a lavish and heavy yellow gold and platinum rice grain bracelet which is confirmed in the Extract from the Archives, which is in itself a marvel. Incredibly imposing and arresting, this bi-colour bracelet is singular in appearance. According to research, this bracelet configuration has never appeared on any other Patek Philippe watch. This timepiece is also the only known reference 2428 with any confirmed bracelet, further adding to its unparalleled exclusivity and rarity.
