專家說明

The present watch is believed to be the one of only two known references 1558 in yellow gold known to exist to date, however the only one with Breguet numerals confirmed by the Extract from the Archives. It has furthermore never been offered in public before.

The movement bears the export stamp "PXP", a mark used by Patek Philippe during the 1940s and 1950s to identify watches made for the American market.

Reference 1558
Reference 1558 was launched in 1942 and remained in production until around 1947. It was fitted with the tonneau-shaped calibre 9-90 and available in yellow and pink gold.
