Specialist note
With Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present watch with raised gold hour markers in 1949 and its subsequent sale on 21 February 1950.
To the best of our knowledge, this watch has never been offered at public auction before.
Reference 565 was introduced in 1938 and was available with sweep centre or subsidiary seconds, such as the present watch. The timelessly modern design of reference 565 served as inspiration for the creation of the 2006 stainless steel inaugural reference 5565.
