Accessories: Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present watch in 1959 and its subsequent sale on 4th July 1960
In production from 1950 to 1960, the Patek Philippe reference 2481 was given the nickname “King Size” as it was once the largest wristwatches ever made by Patek Philippe. Most commonly found fitted with an enamel dial, the present watch is decorated with a modest silvered dial which compliments the no longer common “V” profile shape case greatly. A minimalistic watch from 50 years ago, the design of this watch will continue to stay relevant for the next generation.
