THIS WATCH IS ACCOMPANIED
BY AN EXTRACT FROM
THE ARCHIVES CONFIRMING
ITS MANUFACTURE AND SUBSEQUENT SALE IN 1937.
IT IS FURTHER ACCOMPANIED BY THE ORIGINAL BILL OF
SALE BY CHRONOMETRIE BEYER/ZÜRICH DATED DECEMBER 1939.
THE PRESENT WATCH IS A FINE EXAMPLE OF THE RARE AND EARLY REFERENCE 1463-STYLE, WHERE THE LUGS ARE RATHER STRAIGHT COMPARED TO THE LATER AND BETTER-KNOWN DESIGN WITH MORE SHAPED AND DOWN-TURNED LUGS.
EXTENDED RESEARCH RESULTED IN THE DISCOVERY THAT THE PRESENT WATCH
WAS ORIGINALLY CASED WITH
A NON-WATERPROOF CASE, REFERENCE 130, WHICH WAS LATER CHANGED IN 1943
AT THE CLIENT'S REQUEST
TO THE PRESENT CASE, REFERENCE 1463.
IT IS NOT SURPRISING THAT SHORTLY AFTER THE INTRODUCTION OF PATEK PHILIPPE'S FIRST
WATERPROOF CHRONOGRAPH MODEL IN 1940, CLIENTS REQUESTED AN UPGRADING
OF THEIR WATCHES
TO FACILITATE DAILY USE.
