Notes
A true gem in the annals of horological history, the Patek Philippe 1436J Split-Seconds Chronograph epitomizes the pinnacle of watchmaking craftsmanship and sophistication. Introduced in the 1940s, this model is revered among collectors and enthusiasts for its technical ingenuity and timeless elegance.
Encased in 18k yellow gold, the 1436J features a 33mm diameter case that exudes classic charm and refined aesthetics. The dial is a harmonious blend of functionality and elegance, with a beautiful glossy black finish, a tachymeter scale around the outer rim which gives a touch of sophistication to the overall design.
This timepiece is particularly celebrated for its split-seconds chronograph complication, a sophisticated mechanism that allows the measurement of intermediate times while the chronograph is running. This feature, operated by a pusher in the crown, exemplifies Patek Philippe’s mastery in creating complex yet user-friendly complications.
The Patek Philippe 1436J, produced in very limited numbers (around 140 pieces only), stands as a testament to the brand’s rich heritage and its continued pursuit of horological perfection. It is a coveted piece for discerning collectors who appreciate the intricate balance of tradition, innovation, and timeless design, making it a prized addition to any esteemed collection.
