Patek Philippe

Calatrava

An extremely rare and very attractive vintage Geneva wristwatch

Sold

This Patek Philippe watch, reference 2450 was produced in 1950 and is part of the Calatrava family and a true classic vintage piece. The present version in pink gold is particularly rare; only a few have been offered on the market to date.
Patek Philippe launched reference 2450 in 1948. The watch came in two series: the first one, from 1948 to 1952 was fitted with calibre 12-120. The second series, such as the present watch, was made between 1950 and 1953 and fitted with a calibre 12-400 movement.
This timepiece is despite its age in excellent condition with a beautiful pink gilt dial that has never been restored; the black enamel letters and the small second indexes are still raised.
