The Patek Philippe ref 2452 was made in two series, the first with calibre 10'''200, from 1949 until around 1951 like the present lot and the second series featuring calibre 12'''400, started production in 1950 and was discontinued around 1958.

Understated with a twist is what best defines the present ref 2452 with its conservative and classical dial enhanced by an audacious case design with prominent stepped lugs giving the watch a certain artistic cachet. Presented today in excellent overall condition, this watch offers tremendous value for any collector.
