A true collector’s treasure, this Patek Philippe Ref. 1491 is an exceptionally rare piece, crafted in 18k rose gold and distinguished by its gorgeous 'Riccio' scroll lugs - a bold, sculptural feature that sets it apart.
The dial has gracefully aged to a warm yellow patina over time, lending the watch a unique character and vintage charm. It is elegantly composed with applied hour markers, dauphine hands, a dotted minute track and a small seconds subdial at 6 o’clock.
Measuring 34mm across, the case is fitted with a snap-on back and houses the manual wind movement Calibre 12-120. Circa 1951, this watch is a standout piece in any horological archive.
