Patek Philippe, Ref.1450, "Top Hat", Cal. 9-90 powered, rare 18-carat pink gold, circa 1955.
The pinnacle of vintage rectangular movements."The rectangular case with its special stepped silhouette, known as "Top Hat", and the simple yet fine silver dial with its combination of applied dots and bars, make this a gem of a period look and great taste. There are some minor scratches and ageing from use, but this watch is in a good state of preservation, with the enamel coating on the dial and the characteristic case shape firmly intact, giving it a natural taste. It comes with a pink-gold bracelet (for wrist size = 18-19.5 cm) that matches perfectly with the watch body of the same age. Archive is included.
