附帶後補資料庫精粹
Manufactured in the late 1940's the present watch represents the aesthetic perfection the firm of Patek Philippe has strived to achieve since the 1900 Universal Exhibition. With the two world wars that followed, watches evolved in the form of wristwatches and fashion was superseded by functionality. The 1925 Exhibition of Modern Industrial and Decorative Arts and the 1937 Universal Exhibition cemented into society the wristwatch. As a result, beautiful time only wristwatch in all shapes and sizes began to evolve.
This reference 2415, is fitted with a very long case, which is curved and has very fancy sculpted lugs, which mirrors architecture from this period. It is unknown how many were made, when production started or when it ended. What we do know, it is an extremely rare reference with a very elegant case construction and relatively inexpensive considering its age and rarity.
