Patek Phillippe
Reference 3086/23
Patek Philippe, founded in 1839
is generally associated with
manufacturing the most important
complicated wristwatches. However,
not as commonly acknowledged are
the magnificent masterpieces made for
lady’s. The following lot, manufactured
in 1956 is an incredible example and
illustrates perfectly how the firm far
exceeds expectations when it comes to
all manners of horology.

Cased in platinum, lavishly set with
diamonds and emeralds, the watch is
preserved in pristine condition, having
hardly ever been used. To complement
the importance further, the watch still
retains its original certificate and box.
Purchased at the legendary Patek Philippe
1999 theme auction in Geneva, the watch
has remained in the same important
collection and is truly a superlative
masterpiece.
