It is always difficult to find a watch fresh to the market, especially when we speak about Patek Philippe. For this reason we are really happy to offer you this very elegant and possibly unique Patek Philippe reference 1598. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first example of this specific reference to go to auction, moreover its characteristics make this watch a very desirable wristwatch. This watch is considered one of the most important pieces in Patek Philippe’s history by many collectors and historians. This “pink-on-pink” version with its elegant pink dial with long signature Patek Philippe & Co that blends pleasantly with the sensual shape of the case, gives the current watch an elegance at first sight and represents a real gem from collection. The conditions of the dial are perfectly well preserved with nice dot and pyramid indexes and baton hands. The case, well preserved as well, shows a principle of oxidation at the conjunction between the glass and the edges but the most fascinating details are certainly the fancy handles with their absolutely particular and unusual shape so masterfully sculpted that one cannot mistake their elegance as a design of vintage Patek Philippe excellence. Absolute example of skill and imagination, this Calatrava represents an almost unique opportunity to purchase an object never seen before.
