Pure class
A Patek Philippe ref. 1463 Chronograph from 1968 retailed and signed by Cartier (even the deployant buckle), the only known example (sold by Phillips in 2016)...
35 mm water-resistant yellow gold case with round chronograph pushers (thus the nickname of this reference: 'Tasti Tondi'). Manual, cal. 13''', 23 jewels.
No words needed.
Wishing everyone a nice beginning of the week.

Yes, retailed by Cartier NY in 1968
and presented as a gift to his (second) wife by the original owner in 1987. Probably a special order and part of the very last two ref. 1463 made before Patek Philippe discontinued this model.
Ben Clymer wrote an article about it before the sale:

Yes, they gave this ref. its Italian nickname, 'Tasti Tondi' (short for 'tasti rotondi" = round pushers)!

Yes, I dedicated a thread
Thank you for this great information as always.
Thoroughly love the old style pump chronograph pushers and I'm happy that I have them on my 5960A.
Yes, it's a great feature of the 5960.
And it's also something I like about the VC Cornes de Vache.
Best, Emmanuel
