Notes

Bought in the Art of Patek Philippe Antiquorum sale in April 1989 (Lot 262), the watch has been kept in a deposit box for the last 30 years untouched. Recently rediscovered by the family, it has a beautiful clean and art deco design accentuated by the sector dial. Extremely rare it is in fact only the second reference 404 ever offered at Antiquorum.
