More Information
Specialist note
According to our research, it is one of only three "pink on pink" examples to have appeared in public to date, however the only one featuring the signature of the distinguished retailer Serpico y Laino.
Other notable characteristics are the highly attractive combination of the pink gold case with the oversized lugs of conical shape with the charismatic two-tone pink dial, all in excellent overall condition.
The dials of reference 1536 were made by the celebrated Stern Frères, either silvered or pink, with gold applied Roman 3, 6, 9, 12 hour markers, the baton indexes, double or simple seconds scale and signature engraved-enamelled. The outer seconds ring is finished with a different surface polishing, resulting in the two-tone layout. The thin hands are in gold, the seconds hand in blued steel.
The 18K pink gold bracelet was added by a servicing at Patek Philippe to a later date and is in close to new condition.
The movement is Victorin Piguet’s calibre 12-120 originally designed for subsidiary seconds, upgraded with sweep centre seconds upon the request of Patek Philippe.
