With Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present watch with gold Breguet numerals in 1954 and its subsequent sale on 10 March 1955.
The present watch is distinguished by its good and original overall condition and furthermore enhanced by the rare and sought-after Breguet numerals confirmed by Patek Philippe's Extract from the Archives. The present lot is also fresh to the market.
Reference 2508 is undoubtedly one of Patek Philippe's most popular "time only" wristwatches. Its plain yet masculine and sporty look make it a great collector's watch, especially since its case proportions are very much identical to the much celebrated screw back chronograph reference 1463.
Reference 2508 was launched in 1951 and remained in production until around 1960. The model is illustrated in Patek Philippe Wristwatches by Martin Huber & Alan Banbery, 2nd edition, p. 204, pl. 328.
