Patek Philippe
Top Hat
A rare and elegant vintage Geneva platinum wristwatch with brilliant-cut diamond indexes
Movm. No. 975321, Ref. 1450, Cal. 9-90, Case No. 678685, Dimensions 25 x 38 mm, circa 1955, Origin Schweiz
Case: Platinum, push back.
Dial: Silvered.
Movm.: Manual.
This platinum example is outstandingly well preserved – the edges of the concealed lugs are still sharp, the silvered dial with applied diamond indexes is in superb original condition.
Reference 1450 is one of the few Patek Philippe wristwatches with a square-shaped movement; it was produced from 1940 to approximately 1960 mainly in yellow gold, with some pink gold and very few white gold or platinum examples with diamond-studded index dials. Collectors often refer to the model as the "Top Hat" because the profile of the watch is reminiscent of that particular head gear. The cases for this reference were made by Markowsky, the dials by Stern Frères. The watch is powered by calibre 9-90, regarded as one of the best form movements created by Patek Philippes.
Case: very good. Dial: very good. Movm.: very good, capable of running.

Das vorliegende Exemplar in Platin ist in einem außergewöhnlichen Erhaltungszustand. Die verdeckten Anstöße sind scharfkantig, das versilberte Zifferblatt mit den aufgesetzten Diamantindizes ist in einem hervorragenden Originalzustand.
Referenz 1450 ist eine der wenigen Armbanduhren Patek Philippes mit rechteckigem Formwerk. Die Referenz 1450 wurde von 1940 bis etwa 1960 überwiegend in Gelbgold, selten in Rotgold, seltener in Weißgold oder in Platin mit diamantbesetztem Indexzifferblatt hergestellt. Das Modell wird von Sammlern "Top Hat" (Zylinderhut) bezeichnet, weil das Profil der Uhr an einen Zylinder erinnert. Die Gehäuse für diese Referenz wurden von Markowsky und die Zifferblätter von Stern Frères hergestellt. Als Uhrwerk wurde das Kaliber 9-90 verwendet, das als eines der besten Formwerke Patek Philippes gilt.
Geh.: sehr gut. Ziff.: sehr gut. Werk: sehr gut, gangfähig.
