Specialist note

The reference 2482 was launched in 1950 and was one of the larger vintage watches ever made made by Patek Philippe, measuring 36mm in diameter. This model features attractive overhanging spider lugs that give this watch a larger wrist presence. The cases for this reference were made by P-A Nardin and the dials were made by Stern Freres.

Offered fresh to the market, the present example features an attractive 18k rose gold case which is extremely well preserved. The rose gold dial with rasied gold hour markers is further confirmed by the Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives.
