1956 Patek Philippe Calatrava ref. 2526 “18kt Yellow Gold, Serpico Y Laino”

Up for grabs is a Patek Philippe Calatrava in 18kt yellow gold

Reference 2526 with legendary caliber 12-600 AT

Excellent vintage condition case with thick and defined lugs, signed winding crown.

Original enamel dial remains crack-free and retains its sharp print. It is also double signed “Serpico Y Laino, Caracas”

Caseback is original, appropriately signed S&L in the back and was personalized at some point with “B B” engraving. Inside the caseback is stamped with all hallmarks, serial number of the case, and model number.

The bracelet is a South American made “DA” 18kt yellow gold. We often see bracelets made by DA on Rolex and Patek watches from this era. As stated by extract, the watch was originally sold to the dealer on a leather strap, but it is possible that Serpico added the bracelet during the final sale.

The watch comes accompanied by the Patek Extract of Archives.
