An exceptionally rare and historic piece of haute horlogerie: the Patek Philippe Calatrava Empire Ref. 2511 in 18k pink gold, dating from 1954, with a bold 36.5mm case — one of the largest vintage Patek Philippe wristwatches ever made.
First introduced in 1951 and produced for only three years, reference 2511 was made in extremely small numbers. It is estimated that only 100 examples in pink gold were ever produced, and just 5 have resurfaced on the market to date.
This watch is accompanied by the official Extract from the Archives issued by Patek Philippe, confirming its authenticity and production date.
Highlights:
18k pink gold case – 36.5mm
Elegant “Empire” lugs – refined and distinctive
Ultra-limited production (only 100 made in pink gold)
Only 5 known to have returned to market
Comes with Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives
A unique opportunity for serious collectors to acquire one of the rarest post-war Patek Philippe wristwatches in existence.
