Patek Philippe Ref. 2526 "Tropical", produced in 1955, is a very rare 18kt rose gold ebony dial. The dial was made of ceramic at the time, and was produced from the early 1950s to the early 1960s in order to prevent deterioration caused by humidity and ageing due to sunlight, etc., and to maintain this beautiful color semi-permanently. The watch is a masterpiece of Patek Philippe, with a screw-back water-resistant case, which is rare for Patek Philippe, and the first self-winding Cal. 12-600AT, which was manufactured by the company itself. This particular piece has an early ebony dial and is made of rare rose gold. This collector's item comes with the original 18k rose gold bracelet. An archive is included.
