We are pleased to offer this very fine and rare Patek Philippe mens ref. 2446 watch.

With its understated silver face and timeless square case, it showcases a classic and elegant vintage Patek style.

Powering it is its original illustrious Patek Philippe 10 ligne movement, unquestionably among the finest hand-winding movements ever built.

It has fully Patek parts down to all hands and the original winding crown.

It presents very nicely. Its case is scratch-free with previous signs of polishing. Its silver dial is bright and clean, previously restored in vintage times - its original raised Patek Philippe enamel lettering is still visible. And its movement is clean.

One of our Master Watchmakers, who used to be the watchmaker for an authorized Rolex dealer and was given special training by Rolex at their Beverly Hills Service Center to be an authorized Rolex watchmaker, has fully serviced the watch which consists of fully disassembling the movement, carefully inspecting each part, replacing any overly worn components with genuine Patek parts, installing a new mainspring, reassembling and lubricating the movement, and extensive timing testing and regulation (an $795 value). Please inquire if you would like photos of the inside.

For the finishing touch we have equipped it with a brand new Teju lizard strap making it ready for immediate enjoyment.

Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.

Please inquire if you would like us to obtain an Extract from the Patek Philippe archives for you. Patek charges 500CHF to provide one.
