Patek Philippe à Genève, Movement No. 702564, Case No. 676584, Ref. 2483, Cal. 27SC, 34 mm, circa 1951
A gentleman's rare Geneva vintage wristwatch with centre seconds
Case: 18k gold, screw back, movement protection cap. Dial: silvered. Movm.: bridge movement, Geneva quality hallmark, Glucydur screw balance.
Production of reference 2483 started in 1950 until the mid 1950s. The models were available with auxiliary seconds or centre seconds.
The dial of this watch is exquisite in a very low-key way; it is matte silver with facetted applied gold hour indexes and has an outer minute track with delicate and crispy dark-blue Arabic numerals. The hour and minutes hands are gold, the seconds hand is blue and corresponds with the outer minute track and its tip is gently curved downward. The 34 mm 18k gold case is relatively small by today’s standards but stylish and marvellously sculpted. Bezel, lugs and sides are made as one piece of shaped gold.
