專家說明
Patek Philippe produced the Ref. 425 from 1934 and it remained in production until 1960 when it was replaced by the slightly larger reference 2461.
Together with the legendary Calatrava reference 96 it was one of Patek Philippe's most popular wristwatches, its typical Art Deco architectural design serving as inspiration for the firm's other rectangular models of the time. The watch was nicknamed ‘Tegolino’ by Italian collectors because its rectangular shape resembled a popular sponge cake known as the Tegolino.
It is fitted with the celebrated rectangular-shaped calibre 9-90, Patek Philippe’s finest non-circular movement of the period. The balance cock of this particular timepiece’s movement is stamped with the letters PXP, which implies that the watch was destined for the US market in the pre-Henri Stern era. Stern became the became agents for Patek in the US in 1937 and post this the balance cocks were stamped HOX when they were sent to the US.
