A great overlooked reference?
Patek Philippe's ref. 2475 is hardly ever seen.
But let's face it: square case, overhanging lapidated teardrop lugs, two-tone dial, sculpted “dart” indexes: how often do you see such a distinctive design?
The 26 x 26 x 8 mm case looks so good on the wrist.
And I simply love the design.
With such a crown, winding the 10-200 movement is probably a delight.
Looking a bit small on a large wrist, but I'm sure it looks perfect on smaller wrists like mine.
Here are a few supplementary “objective” shots, where the two-tone of the dial becomes less visible.
Sadly, the 10-200 movement isn't shaped.

And two last shots, just so you can see how beautiful the sculpted “dart” indexes are.

Do you like this reference too?
Thanks for looking.

Thanks for sharing these photos, Emmanuel. I am a bit ambivalent…
I think I much prefer rectangular cases to square cases. That being said the next to the last photo — the watch alongside the metal cylinder — has the most appeal to me.
I understand your mixed feelings, of course.
The square shape is very special and can certainly look awful on the wrist. But when it's well executed, it can be very nice, at least for me. This 3404, for example, felt really great on the wrist. Anyway, thanks for sharing your thoughts. Best, Emmanuel...
Not impossible,
but the aesthetic is very different and I like it better personally! Best, Emmanuel
I feel the same way of course.
The Cubitus is nice on the wrist though (40 mm for me), but I'd choose this 2475 without the slightest hesitation. Best, Emmanuel
