1948 Ref. 2415 Rectangular 18k

A vintage Patek Philippe reference 2415 in 18k yellow gold, manufactured in 1948. The elongated rectangular case is distinguished by pronounced curved lugs that extend dramatically from the case and have developed a warm patina with age.

The silvered dial was refreshed sometime in the watch’s past, while retaining its hard enamel details, which have developed patina across the surface. Applied gold Roman numerals are joined by faceted square and dot hour markers, gold sword-shaped hands, and subsidiary seconds at 6 o’clock.

Powered by Patek Philippe’s caliber 9-90 manual-wind movement and fitted with a new black leather strap secured by a Patek Philippe 18k yellow gold tang buckle. Accompanied by an Extract from the Archives, the reference 2415 is a particularly handsome example of Patek Philippe’s shaped postwar wristwatches.
