Less than 24 hours to go until our Geneva Important Watches sale! ⏰ 
wallhagen showed us this rare Patek Philippe reference 2497 first series. Produced from 1951 until it was discontinued in 1963, this reference is historically important. It was the world's first perpetual calendar wristwatch with centre seconds and remained the only one in the history of Patek Philippe until 1993 - 30 years after the production of the 2497 ceased. Less than 200 pieces were made and only around 20 of them in pink gold. 
In extraordinary condition with exquisite proportions and incredibly well-defined fluting to the lugs, this pink gold example is a very rare opportunity to acquire something exceptional.
