Specialist note

According to our research, the present ref. 721 is one of only three examples of the "pink on pink" version of this model known to the international auction market to date.

A charismatic beauty, this very appealing dress watch is fitted with the equally rare and much sought-after silvery-rose dial as confirmed by the Extract from the Archives. Its untouched condition is underlined by the raised hard enamel minute scale, hard enamel long “Patek Philippe & Cie.” signature with comma and Genève accent clearly visible.
