Patek Philippe
The Double Crown World Time Reference 2523 / 1 in Pink Gold
王者再臨 : 百達翡麗紅金 2523 / 1
We are absolutely thrilled to present this exceptionally rare and highly important pink gold Double Crown World Time Patek Philippe wristwatch reference 2523 / 1 , which is fresh to the market and previously unknown .
In exceptional and unpolished condition , this pink gold 2523 / 1 is the second known example to be offered to public . The first example is fitted with a silver mattefinished center disc , and not a guilloché dial , such as the present watch . Sold at auction a staggering 18 years ago , the watch achieved a record breaking price of 665,000 US dollars .
When introduced to the market in the early 1950 ’ s , the Double Crown World Time was not a commercial success . As a result , very few pieces were manufactured and sold . Reference 2523 is divided into two variations . The first , reference 2523 , is fitted with slightly larger lugs that sit higher above the bezel . The second , reference 2523 / 1 , has a slightly larger diameter case . The lugs are slightly thinner and do not sit above the bezel like they do on reference 2523 .
The present 2523 / 1 is the second known example in pink gold to be offered at auction . To date , there are 9 yellow gold examples known . 5 are fitted with a guilloché center and 4 are fitted with a silver matte finished center disc .
Scholars and collectors familiar with the auction market in the last 30 years are well aware of how rare it is for an arrival of a trophy watch . It has been 18 years since a comparable watch has appeared in the public arena . It is hard to say when , and if , another opportunity will ever arise again to acquire a pink gold Double Crown World Time by Patek Philippe .
