Catalogue EssayRenowned as Patek Philippe’s first self-winding movement wristwatch, the reference 2526 is a timeless must-have collector’s timepiece. Created in yellow, pink, white gold, as well as platinum, the reference was fitted with an oversized, water-resistant case measuring 35mm in diameter. This pink gold version is more precious and rare than the yellow gold versions due to its limited production numbers. This lovely pink gold example is from the 3rd series featuring a flat screw down case back and the period correct “short” 6 o’clock index. The watch is still considered to this day, to be one of the best automatic movements ever created. This is due to the fact that Patek Philippe, like all other manufacturers, was not able to use a rotor to create an automatic movements until the Rolex patent expired. Rather than spending time on less optimal solutions (bumper rotors, hinged-lugs winding etc.), Patek Philippe focused on R&D for over two decades, waiting for the patent to expire. Cal. 12-600 is the result of this great endeavor. Reference 2526 was in production from 1953 until 1960 then replaced by reference 3428.Read MoreMaker BiographyPatek PhilippeSwiss • 1839 Follow Since its founding in 1839, this famous Geneva-based firm has been surprising its clientele with superbly crafted timepieces fitted with watchmaking's most prestigious complications.
