Notes
Patek Philippe, Ref. 2451
This reference is launched in 1949 and remained in production until the late-1950s.
This tonneau-shaped watch (37 x 30.5 mm.) is fitted with the manual-winding Cal. 10-200.
The majority in yellow gold, more rarely in stainless steel and pink gold.
This model is so-called “Acuatic” by collectors.
