Est. $19,000-$21,000 Patek Philippe 1950s Calatrava Solid 18K Yellow Gold 35mm Watch (Ref. 2484J) W/Brown Lizard Band - This handsome, investment quality timepiece was made by one the most prestigious luxury watchmakers in the industry, Patek Philippe. This fine 1950s Calatrava dress watch features: 32mm solid 18k yellow gold two-body case with concave bezel, fluted lugs and snap-on case back; Patek calibre 10-200 manual winding movement with rhodium-plated fausses cotes decoration, 18 jewels, straight-line lever escapement, monometallic balance, self-compensating blued Breguet balance spring, swan-neck micrometer regulator; satin silver dial with applied yellow gold baton indexes, outer minute track, subsidiary seconds dial and yellow gold baton hands; signed on the case, dial and movement; and brown lizard band. This vintage wristwatch is truly a collector's dream, and a must-have for any watch enthusiast. 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. This watch has excellent investment potential, as Patek Philippe resale value is above that of all other makers, vintage or modern. This watch has recently been serviced, and is in perfect working condition. The watch measures approx. 9" in length. Movement #: 741XXX, Case #: 685XXX, Ref. #: 2484J.
