Notes

The Patek 1463 waterproof chronograph is one of the most appreciated chronographs ever made by the firm due to its beautiful design. Produced from the 1940’s, this example has was made in 1950 and immediately impresses by its thick case, tight pin holes, original pushers as well as its nicely raised enamel on its original two-tone dial. Out of all the variations, the ones in steel with applied Breguet numerals are the most appreciated and collected and this example comes accompanied by its extract from the archives that confirms its "Applied Breguet Numerals". Without a doubt one of the nicest creations ever made by Patek Philippe.
