PATEK PHILIPPE•TEGOLA•1950S

Reference 2461 is one of Patek Philippe’s emblematic rectangular watches from the 1950s. It is commonly known by its Italian name “Tegola”, meaning roof tile, a reference to its architectural shape and distinctive curved profile.
 
This watch stands out for its curved rectangular 18k yellow gold case, with elegant proportions of 42 × 22 mm, designed to sit naturally on the wrist. It is fitted with a French case, a configuration frequently seen in the 1950s for pieces intended for the French market.
 
The dial, clean and well balanced, features a small seconds display and is protected by a domed crystal that follows the curvature of the case.
 
It is powered by the manual-winding Patek Philippe calibre 9-90, a refined movement emblematic of the brand’s rectangular watches of the period.
 
A collector’s piece with strong character, perfectly embodying the elegance of 1950s watchmaking and the timeless craftsmanship of Patek Philippe.
