The case consists of a carbon composite container surrounded by a
titanium case middle with a notched bezel. Inside, a new hand-wound movement is

interchangeable alligator-leather and rubber straps.

The Baltic amber used for the dial comes from a block weighing 1.6 kilograms, fossilized more than 30 million years ago. No two pieces have exactly the same pattern of streaks. The 39.5 mm steel case hosts the extra thin Caliber A&S1001, an in-house hand-wound movement with a 90-hour power reserve. Its price is CHF 19,500 incl. VAT.

Vintage ads - Patek Philippe (ca. 1955)
ENGLISH
(il testo italiano è sotto l'immagine)
“Patek Philippe (…) considers this PERPETUAL Calendar
Watch among its greatest achievements. (…) This normal-size wrist watch has the
amazing ability of telling you not only the correct day, date and month of the
year – but changes completely on its own for 28, 30 and 31 day months. (…) Only
a few can own this Patek Philippe – because only a few are made!” The
pictured timepiece is the Ref. 2438, which in the early 1950s replaced the Ref.
1526. The new perpetual calendar featured a sweep second hand rather than the subsidiary
second dial of its predecessor. According to this ad, Patek Philippe “gave
the world the first stem-winding watch” in 1840. This is incorrect, as in
1840 Adrien Philippe had not patented his invention yet and – more importantly –
his first meeting with Norbert de Patek took place a few years later.

ITALIANO
“Patek
Philippe (…) considera questo orologio con calendario PERPETUO uno dei suoi
successi più grandi. (…) Questo orologio da polso di dimensioni normali ha la
straordinaria capacità di indicare con esattezza non solo il giorno, la data e
il mese dell’anno, ma anche di tenere conto dei mesi di 28, 30 e 31 giorni. (…)
Pochi possono indossare questo Patek Philippe … perché ne facciamo pochi!” Il
modello illustrato è la Ref. 2438, che nei primi Anni 50 sostituì la Ref. 1526.
Nel nuovo calendario perpetuo la lancetta dei secondi si trovava al centro,
mentre nel suo predecessore era a ore 6. Secondo il testo, Patek Philippe “diede
al mondo il primo orologio con corona di carica” nel 1840. Affermazione
inesatta: nel 1840 Adrien Philippe non aveva ancora brevettato la sua
invenzione e, soprattutto, il primo incontro con Norbert de Patek ebbe luogo
alcuni anni più tardi.
