Reference 2536 was launched in 1954 and discontinued already two years later and according to our research, the present watch is one of only six examples of this reference in yellow gold to appear in public to date.
The present lot is in very good condition and especially attractive thanks to its enlarged case and unusual overlapping lugs. Interestingly, another example of the same reference is exhibited at the Patek Philippe Museum in Geneva.
Reference 2536 is illustrated in:
