Patek Philippe’s reference 565 is one of the greatest time only wristwatches of the 20th century. Released in 1938 and in production until 1952, this reference was produced in stainless steel and both pink and yellow gold. Today, this timepiece is amongst one of the most collectible and desirable vintage designs.
