More information

Preserved in remarkably fine condition, reference 2484 was produced in only a few hundred examples between the early 1950s and the beginning of the 1960s. Its dial, understated yet timeless, is complemented by one of Patek Philippe’s most distinctive stylistic signatures, the ridged lugs. The cases were manufactured by the renowned maker Wenger, also responsible for crafting cases for the legendary ref. 2499 together with Vichet. Offered here on a beautifully preserved ‘beads of rice’ bracelet by Gay Frères, stamped for the 3rd quarter of 1954, this watch combines rarity, simplicity, and wearability, making it a refined companion for generations to come.
