PATEK PHILIPPE ‘MARILYN MONROE’ REF. 2442J

The ref. 2442 is popular with collectors because of its curvaceous case which has been nick-named the ‘Marilyn Monroe’ or ‘Banana’. It was produced from 1948 to around 1960 and considered one of the most iconic of mid-century Patek Philippe designs. With a Markowski case, Stern Frères dial, and caliber 9-90, the ref. 2442 is about as blue chip as it gets in the world of watch collecting. For a wearable conversation starter, this is the watch to bring some horological sizzle to your wrist.
