5944 Patek Philippe 2526
Fine and scarce Patek Philippe 18K gold reference 2526 vintage
automatic wrist watch with porcelain enamel dial circa 1954.
This is the first self-winding wristwatch made by Patek Philippe and was produced
in only 580 pieces, including yellow, pink and white gold and platinum.
The dial with applied gold markers and gold hands, the signature and minute
markers in gold enamel.
The reference 2526 is the only Patek wrist watch with a porcelain enamel dial,
and not all of this reference number have enamel dials.
Calibre 12-600AT rhodium 30 jewel 8 adjustment movement with 18K gold rotor
in heavy screwback case. Crocodile strap, original crown and gold Patek Philippe buckle.
The dial overglaze has a small area of fine intersecting hairlines between 4:00 and 5:00
running from the edge to just inside the seconds track.
This minor imperfection is not visible to the naked eye, difficult
to see under magnification and so slight we were unable to get it to
show in a photograph. This watch is offered at a very attractive price due to this
virtually invisible imperfection. A handsome, rare and very desirable watch.
