Essay:  2428:  During the 1940s and 1950’s was a great time for watch making, and this Patek Philippe reference 2428 proves that. With its 34.5mm 18k gold case and oversized straight lugs, this watch is an early example of the iconic Calatrava. This watch features a classic dial design, with floating subsidiary-seconds dial and Dauphine hands. The movement is a Patek Philippe caliber 10’’’200, which, in typical Patek fashion, is as beautiful as the watch itself. This is a classic dress watch produced by the king of dress watches.
