Specialist note

With Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present watch with black Roman numerals and diamonds in 1976 and its subsequent sale on 22 July 1976.

This watch is believed to be the first and so far only known reference 4283/11 to appear in public to date.

A decade of activism, freedom and self-expression dominated the 1970s and established fashion and jewellery trends became more tolerant and individualistic.

This possibly unique bracelet watch with its geometrically design is a fine and very unusual representative of this period.
