This lot is a catching specimen of Patek Philippe reference 2597 launched in 1958 during the travel era. The movement is an ingenious system that allows a traveler to keep track of two separate time zones, the caliber 12-400. In the years of its production was available in two versions, a first one, such as this one, featured an independently adjustable hour hand and a later one, which includes an additional hour hand. The two-body case Designed by Louis Cottier and produced by Antoine Gerlach with a snap on back of this 2597 has been realized in 18k yellow gold: its stepped bezel with concave lugs are all incredibly fresh and well preserved. The silvered dial has applied yellow-gold indexes, subsidiary seconds and yellow-gold dauphin hands. Accompanied by a Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present watch in yellow gold in 1960 and its subsequent sale on 3 February 1961.
