Designed by David Penney, its Bauhaus-inspired, minimalist aesthetic helped define the modern dress watch, featuring a 31 mm case, a clean dial, and a small seconds display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"201\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"545\"\u003eIt was the first serially produced wristwatch to carry a formal Patek Philippe reference number. Produced from 1932 until 1973, it featured a sleek design with integrated lugs and a flat bezel, embodying the “form follows function” philosophy. Although considered a dress watch, it was produced in a wide variety of configurations, including stainless steel, precious metals, sector dials, and even luminous military-style variants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"545\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"979\"\u003ePresented here is a lovely 18k yellow gold example, with a beautifully preserved case and crisp, clearly visible gold hallmarks.
