Fresh to market after 76 years with the original family, this Pink-on-Pink 1518 was hidden in a drawer untouched for the last 30 years. In June, it sold for a staggering $3.87 million at #SothebysNewYork, securing the next spot in our #SothebysWrapped🎁 countdown of your favorite Sotheby's moments from 2023. The ref. 1518 is already historically significant as Patek Philippe's very first perpetual calendar chronograph. But, with only 15 examples known to exist, the 'pink on pink' is exceptionally rare. To discover a previously unknown and undiscovered vintage watch with a single owner in this condition is the stuff of dreams for vintage Patek Philippe collectors—a 'holy grail' watch. #SothebysWatches #PatekPhilippe #PinkonPink
