PATEK PHILIPPE, RETAILED BY GUBELIN, REF. 1527J

The reference 1527 came out in 1942 and was produced until 1950. Patek offered this model in yellow gold (like the one being offered), pink gold, platinum and steel. This watch was offered with subsidiary seconds or sweep seconds, like the present example. The sweep seconds’ feature started being offered in 1943 and was only available in yellow or pink gold. The present example features sweep seconds and a two-tone silvered dial with the retailer “Gueblin” signed at 6 o’clock. The gold cases were made by Emile Vichet and the dials were produced by Stern Freres.
