The Calatrava case has always been one of the great strengths of Patek Philippe, capable of creating absolutely unique objects in every small detail and the Reference 2431 is one of the most obvious demonstrations of this ability. The 2431 was launched in 1948 and remained in production for a few years but due to its style and its absolutely unique lugs it has become one of the most iconic models of the 1950s ever produced by the Swiss-Polish origin brand. From the first glance, the delicate and tapered flame-shaped lugs amaze for the high quality of the manufacture and above all for their incredibly crisp conservation while a slight oxidation slowly takes hold of the part of the case at 12 o’clock. The snap on back, in the same way, offers a very fascinating and attractive oxidation principle and the dial is, furthermore, preserved in excellent original overall condition but the rarity of the present reference 2431 is enhanced by the retailer signature Serpico Y Laino, the Patek Philippe’s celebrated reseller in Caracas founded in 1925 by two Italians transferred to South American soil. Diameter of the case 34 mm. Extract from Archives Patek Philippe
