Thoughts on the vintage ref. 2481 models?
I'm interested in the thoughts and impressions of those who have owned (and/or seriously researched) the vintage ref. 2481 models. I'm certainly aware that the 27SC movement is held in high regard, but any further insights would be appreciated. Also, were they produced in relatively limited numbers? I ask because when I do see one come up for sale, they tend to be more expensive than many other (non-complicated) Patek Philippes.
Thank you in advance!
