附帶後補資料庫精粹
The reference 2441 was first introduced in 1948 until the late 1950’s. The reference is known as the “Eiffel Tower” due to the unusual design of the case deriving from the form of the base of the famous French monument. The case for this reference was made by Markowski which is confirmed by the key with a number 8 inside the case back.
According to scholarship, the majority were cased in yellow gold with less than 50 rendered in pink gold. 21 examples, including the present lot have been identified back to the market.
The present watch has a very crisp case and strong hallmarks between the lugs. The watch was serviced by Patek Philippe in the late 1990's and the dial was restored to new.
