Patek Philippe ref. 2428
I received at Patek Philippe with the reference number of 2428 from my favorite Uncle prior to his passing away. I don't know much about it other than he may have purchased it in the 50's - possibly on one of his trips to Europe. It appears to be very simple - the face says Patek Philippe Geneve and is a silver color with gold number markings. The only other number is 422621? Any ideas on when it was manufactured or if it has a model name?
Thanks
