    Since its launch in 1940, the desirability of the reference 1463 has never waned. The only vintage chronograph model by Patek Philippe fitted with a water-resistant-type case and round chronograph buttons is as popular today as it was at the time of its inception.

    The majority were cased in yellow gold, some were cased in steel and examples in pink gold are amongst the most rare and were often reserved for the South American market, like the present watch, bearing the retailer's signature, Casa Welsch SA, Lima, Peru.

    G. Welsch was founded in 1858 and was the Peruvian subsidiary of the German company GEO EHNI & CO, which specialized in the business of luxury watches and jewelry. Since its founding it has remained essentially a sole family business through their 150 years of existence.

    Few examples of Patek Philippe's landmark reference 1463 watches have such a presence on the wrist, and the pink gold example we see here combines many highly desirable elements. The gold case and gold numerals and hands pair very well with the warm two-toned dial, showing that only a few complicated vintage wristwatches can better echo the style of the 1950’s than a gold ref.1463.

    The rare retailer's signature of "Casa Welsch S. A. Lima" is the ‘icing on the cake’ for collectors of the finest timepieces.

Patek is also well-known for their classically styled, time-only "Calatrava" dress watches, and the "Nautilus," an iconic luxury sports watch first introduced in 1976 as the reference 3700 that is still in production today.
