Patek Philippe Ref: 2552 platinum wristwatch with factory diamond index dial.
Can anyone tell me how to find out how many examples of this Patek Philippe ref 2552 platinum wristwatch with factory diamond index dial were manufactured? I understand from my late father whose watch it was that it is one of only five examples worldwide.
Impossible to find out exact nos. but yes that combination must be very rare.Great watch.
.
Total production number ... ?
Firstly i must say, this is a very nice patek.
i always liked model 2552, and being Wg or Pt just makes it even better.
As ref 2552 uses the same movement as ref 2526,
around the same time period, late 50's
i am thinking ( purely ) in my own opinion,
could it be around the same as ref 2526 ??
According to a very famous auction house,
patek 2526 was around 580 pieces
mostly yellow gold, small number of rose, WG and PT being the smallest production number.
the given information may apply also to your 2552.
What do you think ?
By the way, in your second picture,
i dont know if its the photo or something,
at the back, under the top two lugs,
is that a small dent, scratch or hole ??
A very nice watch to keep for the next generation.

Patek Philippe ref 2552.
Thankyou for your observations re numbers manufactured, the black marks on the back of the case are shadows, it is really difficult to photograph shiny metal unless you are a professinal, here is anothe attempt...!
Regarding the number of watches .....
which have been up for sale during the past years, I would figure much less production of 2552 compared to 2526. On "that auction site" you will find 14 pieces 2552 compared to 104 pieces 2526.
Patek Ref:2552 How many examples in platinum with diamond index dial.
Hello Jochen,
Thankyou for your contribution to the discussion. Of the 14 pieces on "that auction site", only 2 were in platinum, nowhere can I find any record of an example with factory diamond dial recorded as being sold.

2526, quite a few are resold.....
the 2526 is a very collectible watch and prices have skyrocket, the last 5 years. As such, some collectors have treated the classic 2526 as a "commodity" and thus have been flipping them for a quick profit.
The 12-600at movement (arguably one of Patek's all-time finest movement) were produced from 1953 to approx. 1960, with a total of 7099 movements produced (not all cased) ,amongst 10 different models (including the 2552). It's safe to say not a lot of models, equipped the 12-600, were produced.
