Est. $18,500-$19,500 Patek Philippe 1941 Solid 18K Yellow Gold 26mm Square Watch (Ref. 1437) W/Brown Alligator Band & Archive Papers - This rare, investment quality timepiece was made by one the most prestigious luxury watchmakers in the industry, Patek Philippe. This fine 1941 gentleman's watch features: solid 18k yellow gold 26mm x 32mm case with snap on back; 9-90 calibre 18 jewel manual winding movement; silvered dial with raised gold indexes, subsidiary seconds dial; acrylic crystal; signed on the case, dial and movement; and brown genuine alligator band. This vintage wristwatch is truly a collector's dream, and a must-have for any watch enthusiast. This watch has excellent investment potential, as Patek Philippe resale value is above that of all other makers, vintage or modern. Patek Phillippe watches are some of the most sought after in the world, as it is said that fewer than 1 million Patek Philippe watches have been made since 1839. The Patek production is so detailed that it takes approximately nine months to make its most basic watches, and over two years to produce some of the more complicated pieces. The watch measures 8.5" in length, is running smoothly, and will be accompanied by the Extract from the Archives. Movement #: 834XXX, Case #: 622XXX, Ref. #: 1437.
