  • 圖錄文章

    There are so many elements that make the present reference 1463 and astounding collector piece that it is difficult to know where to begin.

    First of all, the case is impressively well preserved with strong thick lugs, beautifully polished and brushed surfaces and a deep hallmark is present on the caseband next to the crown. The dial is also impressive in its evolution. Not only is it a rare configuration as the present watch is only the 16th example in yellow gold with Breguet numerals (as confirmed by the Extract from the Archives) to appear on the market but the dial that was originally silver has to a visually arresting two-tone champagne in color.

    Manufactured from approximately 1940 to approximately 1969/1970, reference 1463 is playfully dubbed "Tasti Tondi" due to its large waterproof round pushers. When the reference was introduced, it was decidedly more robust than its sibling, reference 130, reflecting society’s evolving tastes and needs given the war years and a rising demand for a relatively "sportier" watch.

    Given the interest of the market in sports chronographs and the fact that this is practically the only vintage Patek Philippe sports chronograph model, and this example is furthermore fresh to the market, in excellent condition and featuring a rare configuration, one can see how this piece would be a keystone acquisition for any important Patek Philippe collection.
