On offer is a rare Patek Philippe, ref. 2417J, circa 1950s. It features a rectangular yellow gold case with worked lugs, brushed silver dial with raised markers, an Arabic numeral at 12 and small seconds at 6 o-clock. It is powered by a manual wind PP cal. 9-90 which is considered one of their most beautiful in-house movements in the "golden age" of watchmaking. It was leveraged for several other rectangular shaped watches from the late 30s to mid 50s. This particular example has a fantastic curvature to its case/crystal that blends into the wrist. It has remained in nice vintage condition with a well defined case retaining a strong hallmark. The dial has been cleaned in the past but presents well with minimal distracting aging. It comes accompanied with later 18k PP signed pin buckle and a supple leather strap in brown. For anyone looking for the charm of a "true vintage" Patek that's all the while seldom seen, this piece makes for a great option to enjoy on wrist for years to come.
