Patek Philippe Hour Glass, Ref 2461 in Platinum, Circa 1953

The reference 2461 was launched in 1950 and is a larger successor of reference 425. This timepiece is visually stimulating. The wonderfully curved case contrasts with the tension of the angular crystal showing artistic sensitivity and dichotomy. In addition to the square hour diamonds ,the three baguette diamonds at 3, 9 and 12 o’clock add a dash of exuberance to this watch. Approximately 500 watches were manufactured during the reference's 15 year production, the majority of which were cased in yellow gold and platinum.
