The Pursuit of Perfection...
We are proud to offer the very fine and all-original Patek Philippe mens ref. 2475 square dress watch showcased in today's auction.
With its understated silver face and timeless 18K rose gold square case with small claw lugs, it showcases a classic and elegant Patek style. Its dial has distinctively styled retro markers and black enamel outline.
Production of this reference started in 1952.
Powering the watch is its illustrious Patek Philippe 10 ligne movement, unquestionably among the finest hand-winding movements ever built.
It has all of its original Patek parts and presents beautifully. Its case presents as just short of mint with only light signs of previous polishing. Its hallmark is still strong.
Its original and untouched dial, which retains all of its raised black enamel, presents in excellent condition with light toning.
One of our Master Watchmakers has disassembled it down to its last screw and cleaned and oiled it. It is running strong and true.
For the finishing touch, we have equipped it with a brand new crocodile strap making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function, a full-page custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.
Please inquire if you would like us to obtain an Extract from the Patek Philippe archives for you. Patek charges 500CHF to provide one.

- 100% satisfaction guarantee for all of our watches. If you are in any way unsatisfied with it, you are welcome to return it in the condition it was sold anytime within 30 days for a full refund of the purchase price. Our goal is to exceed your expectations throughout the buying experience. We hope you love it!
- The water resistance of vintage watches can no longer be guaranteed and is not covered under the watch's warranty. We don't recommend getting a vintage watch wet - and really don't recommend showering or diving with it - even one that was originally designed to be waterproof.
- In the last 12 years we have safely shipped thousands of high value watches around the world (to over 70 countries!).
-
Wait until you see how big the box is that your watch is coming in!
(Please do remember though that while we do our very best and have careful procedures and quality control inspections - we will again fully re-test the proper functioning of your watch after you pay, right before we send it to you - from time to time some courier workers don't handle packages the way we think that they would want their own packages to be handled.
Watches are ultra-precision instruments, and the timekeeping of most is governed by a small spring that is only about 1/8 the thickness of a human hair. The vast majority of our watches arrive safely and problem free. However at times vintage watches
and their hairsprings can be sensitive to rough courier handling or just having a difficult trip to you.
But even on a bad day there's still good news... We offer a full one-year warranty on virtually every watch we sell (unless occasionally specifically stated otherwise), so if anything happens to it in transit or goes wrong anytime in the first year, we will gladly repair it for you at no charge. Yes, even the older vintage watches. So sit back, relax, and dream about the first place where you're going to wear your new watch!
- Our official warranty in many ways mirrors those of a number of the watch manufacturers and covers the proper timekeeping of the movement. It does not cover things like abuse, being dropped, crystals, bracelets, crowns, case parts etc. or water resistance. While we are the sole determinants of what qualifies for warranty work.... even if you have a problem that you don't think will qualify for coverage, tell us about it anyway. We are here to serve and just might be able to help you.
- Winning bidders must fully pay within 48 hours of the end of the auction. After 48 hours the watch will be relisted.
- To be fair to all bidders, we make it our practice not to end an auction early.
- Because of the high rate of lost items and number of fraudulent payments, we do not sell or ship to Indonesia or Africa.
