The Patek Philippe Reference 2554, introduced in 1952, is a model that has earned a special place in the hearts of collectors, renowned for its timeless elegance and sophisticated design. Available in yellow, rose, and white gold, as well as in platinum, this reference embodies the quintessence of Patek Philippe’s mid-century craftsmanship. The example offered here is particularly captivating, fully realized in 18K yellow gold and featuring a beautifully preserved, solid bracelet crafted in a striking combination of yellow, white and pink gold with a striped effect. The condition of this watch is very nice, with the case showing remarkable conservation, maintaining its original lines. What sets this piece apart even further is its rare and luxurious dial. Crafted in 18K three-color gold (yellow, white and pink gold), the dial is adorned with applied gold indexes set with a total of four baguette-cut sapphires and eight round-cut sapphires. This gemstone embellishment is an unusual and highly desirable feature, adding a touch of opulence to the watch’s already exquisite design. Under the hood, the watch is powered by the iconic manually wound caliber 9″’90, one of Patek Philippe’s most revered form movements. This Reference 2554 combins rarity, beauty, and mechanical excellence. For the discerning collector, this lot represents a chance to own a piece of horological history, further sold with a Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming its production in 1962.
