Patek Philippe & Co. à Genève, Movement No. 925952, Ref. 1503, Cal. 12'''-120, 35 mm, circa 1944
A gentleman's extremely fine Geneva vintage wristwatch in a rare steel case - sold on December 6th, 1944 - with Patek Philippe extract from the archives
Case: steel, push back, Patek Philippe buckle. Dial: silvered. Movm.: bridge movement, gold screw compensation balance.
Reference 1503 was produced in very few examples from 1941 to the early 1950s, with the Caliber 12'''-120. With its horn shaped lugs, it features a similar case design as reference 1509.
This model hardly ever comes up for sale and embodies the appeal of a vintage model of this rare reference in original condition. The two-coloured dial with its long Patek Philippe enamel signature shows tiny traces of oxidation and is a perfect example of such a classic wristwatch in its original condition - by all means a highly sought-after collector's piece.
