Patek Philippe yellow gold ref. 2509J, made in 1953 and sold 1954
The ref. 2509J was first launched in 1950. It is the classic, manual water-resistant watch of the era and highly desirable today for its classic aesthetic and water resistant case. With a screw-back case made by Taubert, this 35 mm Calatrava is a comfortable, everyday watch for the modern wrist. The dial features elegant, faceted and pointed batons and bold dauphine hands. This fresh to market watch was first sold 70 years ago on June 4, 1954 and features an engraving of the original owner from Miami, FL, a doctor who received it as a gift from his wife Christmas 1954.
