Manufactured in 1947, Patek Philippe Ref. 1450 “Top Hat” – Extremely Rare Platinum Case with Salmon-Colored Dial
This is an exceptionally rare piece featuring a platinum case from the distinctive “Top Hat” series, known for its unique silhouette. Among the vintage rectangular models, it is particularly notable for housing the pinnacle of Patek Philippe’s rectangular movements, the Caliber 9-90.
The dial, in a rare salmon color, differs from the more commonly seen diamond-set indexes typically paired with platinum cases. This exquisite piece allows one to fully appreciate the refined hue unique to salmon dials and the weighty elegance characteristic of platinum.
It comes with a Patek Philippe Archive Extract and its original 18K white gold buckle.
