In 1952 there was a shift between the reference 565 and the present reference 2533, a decidedly rare model given its low production numbers limited to 400 total pieces. The resemblance between the two watches is remarkable: the curved design of the case is inherited from the previous model but modernized with some small details, such as the stepped bezel, usually delicate but very visible in this lot thanks to its perfect conditions of the yellow-gold case. Even the silvered dial is a great peculiarity which can be found on this watch, along with the particular arrow indexes also in yellow gold with internal radium. A set of features, details and peculiarities that make this watch extremely appealing. With Patek Philippe Certificate of Origin confirming the movement, case material, caliber, reference and the sale in 1954.
