Accessories With Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present watch with diamond-set numerals in 1951 and its subsequent sale on 20 June 1951 .
Literature For another example of a reference 1593 , however in yellow gold and without diamonds , please see Patek Philippe Wristwatches by Martin Huber and Alan Banbery , page 129 and 129 .
Reference 1593 was launched in 1944 and was in production for 20 years . Very few examples are known in platinum and with diamond-set numerals . The present watch is fresh to the market and in original condition with very crisp case and untouched hallmarks at 6 o ’ clock . Due to the design of the case and faceted crystal , the watch has become lovingly known as the ‘ hour glass ’.
