Not Often Seen
A rare Reference 1551 from 1943 in RG with a silver rose gold rail with raised gold indexes...the pictures unfortunately do no justice to the watch. In over 20 years I've not any of the auction catalogues.there is a BW pic in the Huber & Banbery and I can...
Never seen it. What is the case size, Roni?
Do you happen to know what movement beats Inside? Best, Nicolas
More Info...
Nicolas, 10-110 movement. Case is 32mm from the bottom but with case design and the protruding design on the 4 corners it looks like and is a 34mm from the top Roni
Size...
that the size makes it most wearable and with so many vintage like the reference 96 and the amazing dial options one can get for the 96 at 30mm it is a tad too small to wear if one has small the other end beyond 36mm I struggle too! Roni
Never seen a pic of one either but it looks perfect for your collection
Dial looks good as we'll Obviously you will get an extract Julian

"Never seen a pic of one" Julian, hard to imagine ...
that you don´t own following books: - Huber & Banbery: PP Geneve - John Reardon: PP America Reference Guide Vol. I Best, Oliver
Have number 1. But surprisingly not number 2.
Will check when back home Thanks nico Julian
It might be a surprise ...
but this time it was not Nico who replied :-) Cordially, Oliver
Wrist shot?
Can't believe I've never seen this reference before. Very unique. Any chance of a wrist shot, Roni? Nice find!
The watch looks even better ...
on your wrist and especially with that wonderful dark brown strap. Superb. I guess it is not for everyone, but who cares :-) Thanks for sharing! Oliver
Guard nubs?
It looks great on the wrist! Any idea what the bezel nubs are intended for? Is it to offer some protection to the crystal, either on their own or with some kind of insertable plate guard?
rare vintage
all pateks of the war years are of value. just imagine that they are able to produce wrist watches in geneva , while neighboring germany is being bomb & most of europe is at war. & i suppose production will be limited cause demand is limited. nice...
Indeed...
Wartime production,despite neutrality,must have been testing times with the pre-bellum order of society is complete and total shatters. Roni
