Patek Philippe Ref. 1513
I find this reference (mentioned only three times on this site, seven, ten, and seventeen years ago), powered by calibre 12-120 PS, quite fascinating.
The watch looks very simple, even a bit bland, but its design is subtle and more complex than one might think, with the recessed central part of the three-parts 35 mm case and the thin down-curved lugs (two details I personally love).
Not only was this watch made in steel (which is itself a rarity), but also in two-tone versions (steel and rose gold) as well as full rose gold.
Finally, some beautiful photos of two examples with a tropical dial can be found.
Let's have a look.
Best, Emmanuel

Yes, simplicity or "simplexity".
I'm glad you like it too. It's really something, this reference. Best, Emmanuel
These are beautiful.
Steel tropical dial and the rose gold pink dial for me please, with the small scaled croc strap the rose gold looks so sophisticated.
The things I prefer in this model are the case profile and the lugs.
The variants you point out are very attractive indeed. Best, Emmanuel
Hi Emmanuel, The version with
3, 9 and 12 numerals has a very clean dial which I prefer most ! The salmon dial is something else 💪
I share your preference for the regular dial with Arabic numerals.
And I like the rose gold/pink dial variant very much too. Best, Emmanuel
Amazing posts as always. Found this one
online that I think is striking. Credit PatekMonger. ...
This black dial variant looks very beautiful,
but I left it aside due to the bad quality of the photos... Thank you, Sebastian. Best, Emmanuel
RG cream dial is simply incredible.
Have never seen this reference. Thanks for sharing.
