Patek Philippe’s first automatic wristwatch, the legendary reference 2526, was introduced to the market in 1953 . Produced predominantly in yellow gold, with a small number made in pink gold and white gold, and an even smaller batch made in platinum. The present example cased in pink gold is retailed by Serpico y Laino, Caracas and is especially sought after today.
The enamel dial is a lovely off white or tinted Willis as the English say, featuring the exclusive Serpico Y Laino retailer signature in the subsidiary dial for constant seconds. Additionally, the case back is stamped ‘S.&L.’ remains crisp and legible. With strong hallmarks and original PP crown, the present watch is a highly charismatic example of a reference 2526.
