Patek Philippe & Co. à Genève, Movement No. 832861, Case No. 615783, Ref. 490, Cal. 9'''90, 21 x 43 mm, circa 1938
A gentleman's extremely rare and elegant Geneva wristwatch with auxiliary seconds in a rare steel case - sold on March 27th, 1940. With Patek Philippe extract from the archives
Case: steel, push back. Dial: two-tone silvered. Movm.: bridge movement, gold screw compensation balance.
This gentleman’s wristwatch was produced in the mid 1930s and only very rarely comes on the market. This reference was delivered in a particularly modern and at the same time very art deco style case with curved lugs that fit gently and comfortably round the wrist. The two-tone silvered dial has not been restored in any way and has applied indexes and Arabic art deco numerals. The black enamel logo and the minutes are still distinctly raised. A total length of 43 mm makes this one of the longest rectangular watches ever produced by Patek Philippe.
