Patek Philippe reference 521 in yellow gold with extract

1938 | Yellow gold | Manual | 24.0mm

Sale price€15.900,00

To own a Patek Philippe from 1938 is to hold Geneva watchmaking at its most architecturally daring. The reference 521 is a striking Art Déco gentleman's watch — its stepped, multi-faceted case with bold sculpted lugs is a world away from the restrained round Calatravas of the same era, and all the more compelling for it.

The 24 x 30mm yellow gold case houses a slim manually wound movement with subsidiary seconds at 6 o'clock, finished as one would expect from Geneva's most demanding maison. The engraved enamel dial — a labour-intensive craft even by 1938 standards — is silvered, with applied yellow gold baton indices and matching leaf hands. The warmth of the yellow gold throughout, from case to indices to hands, gives this watch a rare visual cohesion that feels entirely intentional.

This watch is accompanied by an official Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives, confirming its provenance — an irreplaceable document that elevates an already exceptional piece. It retains its original 18k gold buckle.

Eighty-seven years old, and it hasn't lost a thing.
