PATEK PHILIPPE. AN 18K PINK GOLD WRISTWATCH WITH PINK DIAL

To the best of our knowledge the present lot is fresh to the market. 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 the progenitor of the new era of watchmaking design that fully dawned in the sixties with unusual case shapes, stepped bezels and fancy lugs.
