PATEK PHILIPPE - Lot 149
PATEK PHILIPPE
CALATRAVA. REF. 2508.
PRODUCED IN 1963 AND SOLD ON JULY 22, 1963
Water-resistant steel bracelet watch on leather.
Case: round in steel, water-resistant screw-down caseback, inside caseback inscribed F.B for François Borgel, case manufacturer, and 'Vacuum' which specifies the water-resistance of the case, anti-magnetic double back.
Dial: silvered, applied 'obus' hour-markers and pearled minute track, dauphine hands and central seconds-hand.
Movement: mechanical, cal. 27SC, double poinçon de Genève, faux côtes de Genève decoration, 18 jewels, N° 710'660.
Strap: leather with attached buckle.
Dial, case and movement signed.
Numbered 2'614'182.
Diam. 35 mm.
With: original Patek Philippe case, Extrait des Registres dated 18/03/2025.
To be revised.
Provenance: descendants of the first owner.
An identical model (same dial) appears in:
Huber M. Banbery A., Brunner G.L., Patek Philippe, Second Edition, 1998, Geneva, Switzerland, p. 204, pl. 328.
Probably the most desirable Calatrava reference, thanks to its features:
First water-resistant reference to feature a screw-down caseback.
The central seconds-hand, unlike ref. 2509, produced simultaneously but with a small seconds-hand.
The proportions of the case are reminiscent of ref. 1463, both made by François Borgel.
It is presented here in a steel version, produced in extremely small quantities compared to the gold models.
It is estimated that fewer than a dozen steel ref. 2508s have been auctioned.
