PATEK PHILIPPE. A VERY FINE AND RARE 18K PINK GOLD WRISTWATCH WITH PINK DIAL AND SCROLL LUGS

Reference 1491, launched in 1940, is a perfect example of Patek Philippe's continuous search for new and avant-garde innovations, whether in the movement of their watches, or, as in this instance, in the design. The unusual lugs of this model are premonition of a new era of watchmaking design that will fully dawn from the sixties on with unusual case shapes, stepped bezels and fancy lugs. It is remarkable how Patek Philippe anticipated the trend by two decades.
