Specialist note
With Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present watch with silvered dial and 3/4 Arabic numerals in 1937 and its subsequent sale on 22 December 1937.
Reference 519 was in production during a very short time from 1937 until around 1938 and fitted with caliber 9'''90. This very rare model distinguished by the elegant case design with double stepped sides is comparable to reference 522 launched the same year, fitted with a triple stepped case.
The present watch is believed to be the only fourth example of a reference 519 in yellow gold to appear in public to date.
