The Patek Philippe reference 2499 stands among the most significant achievements in 20th-century watchmaking, a creation that bridges technical mastery and timeless beauty. Introduced in 1951 as the successor to the groundbreaking reference 1518, the world’s first serially produced perpetual calendar chronograph, it represents the evolution of perfection within Patek Philippe’s lineage.
Produced over 34 years in only 349 examples, the 2499 remains an icon of rarity and refinement. The present example, encased in yellow gold and belonging to the highly coveted second series, features round chronograph pushers, applied baton indexes, and a precisely executed tachymeter scale, hallmarks of the generation most prized by collectors. The dial, with its raised enamel signature and exquisite balance, exudes depth, warmth, and quiet authority.
