From a Descendant of the Original Owner

Specialist note

Offered fresh to the market from a descendant of the original owner who purchased the watch in Geneva, the present lady's bracelet watch charms upon first glance. Its appeal comes from the well preserved 18k pink gold rectangular case, scalloped bracelet and pink dial, all features which are manufactured in a way that only Patek Philippe's skilled craftsmen could execute. Measuring at a slim 11.5mm width, it lies on the wrist with elegance and sophistication. Likely produced in a small series, 'pink on pink' watches are among those that are most rare and sought after today as they were in the early 1940s.
