Stainless steel Patek Philippe timepieces have been one of the most fascinating fields of watch collecting.
That metal adds an understated and sport flair to the watches crafter by the most prestigious and renowned manufacture.
While this has been widely celebrated through more modern creations, the use of stainless steel has, at least, the same attractive impact on vintage pieces.
The present lot, manufactured in 1924 perfectly demonstrates it. The use of stainless steel, instead of the usual gold, dramatically heightens both its collectible and aesthetic aspects.
Furthermore, this watch was originally retailed by the prestigious Roman retailer Hausmann&Co.
Having its dial adorned by such a double signature makes this timepiece particularly attractive and collectible.
