Manufactured in 1940, this Patek Philippe Ref.544 is a rare hooded design Stabrite model with an original black gilt dial. It is a unique and scarce piece within the Patek Philippe collection, known for its solid gold case and silver dial, a combination rarely seen in Patek Philippe watches. The hooded case features a distinctive design in Stabrite material, and the black gilt dial with pink lettering adds to its originality.
This particular Patek Philippe watch is a rare find, as most Patek Philippe watches from this era commonly feature gold cases and silver dials. The presence of the "WEIL" W-sign from the Swiss Geneva retailer "WEIL" further enhances the individual rarity of this timepiece. It comes with archival documentation for authenticity.
