PATEK PHILIPPE YELLOW GOLD TRAVEL TIME REF. 2597J

This a superlative example of the original Travel Time, ref. 2597. Previously unknown, this example surfaced in 2021 after decades sitting with the original owner’s family. Preserved in an unpolished state, it has a beautiful patina with sharp, full lugs and an equally untouched bezel. The dial features applied gold batons that have also beautifully aged with patina. The untouched dial retains its pearling and raised enamel signature that we love to see. This is the watch for the true connoisseur who wants to own of the best examples of this important reference. Only 75 examples are believed to have been produced.
