Merry Christmas !

Best, Emmanuel

They show so well how special this reference is.

The 1593, which is perhaps the most iconic; the 2442 “Banana” (my favorite); and the infrequently mentioned 2468 (pictured below),  which is basically a slightly smaller version of 1593.

I haven’t yet been able to see a 2442 or a 2468 is real life, unfortunately. Given my experience with the 1593, I think I would enjoy the slightly smaller size of the 2468. And I would very much like to see how the curvy case of the Banana looks in person. Someday, hopefully.

Wishing you a happy Christmas.

Regarding 2442, this was a highly desired watch many years ago when rectangular watches were extremely popular (unlike today). I remember a RG 2442 selling at auction for $100.000 USD, the equivalent of $250,000 today. Those days are long gone. Best, Patekova

a watch was selling for such a high price! The 2442 is still the most difficult to find and the most expensive of these three references, but we’re very far from what you describe, nonetheless and it’s a good thing.
On C24, the Portuguese retailer who has one (Espadim 1985) also has a full set Chronometro Gondolo pocket watch which I find interesting.

Who’s the cool model here? Love the platinum version.

He’s featured on most photos from Discreet Peacock.
Cheers, Emmanuel

😂

But would need to check how it works on my wrist, first 😊

Wishing you a merry Christmas !

I really love the side profile and the shape. Absolutely gorgeous. Reminds me of the pagoda pieces from the side view. The clearly stand out from a distance while on the list.

the resemblance with the Pagoda. Also very similar to the 2442 and 2468.

I wish you a merry Christmas if you celebrate.
