Details
Description
The Patek Philippe reference 2468J was produced in a limited run from 1949 to 1955, making it a rare find among vintage collectors. It shares a striking resemblance with the more commonly seen Reference 1593 but stands out due to its slightly smaller dimensions, measuring just 2mm less in both length and width. This particular model is especially sought after, as only around 20 examples in yellow gold have been identified in the market, further cementing its status as an exclusive and highly collectible piece from Patek Philippe's esteemed history.
Includes Patek Philippe pouch.
