An intriguing pink on pink Patek Philippe Calatrava ref. 2449 in rose gold circa 1951. A rare reference, the 2449 clocks in at 35mm and features a stunning monobloc case manufactured by Emile Vichet for Patek.
The broad, flat bezel is the star of the show for me, giving the watch a unique look. The design is similar to a 96, just much beefier and substantial on the wrist. With less than 90 cases produced in rose gold (300 across all metals), we have a truly rare wristwatch on our hands here. The watch is accompanied by an extract from the archives.
