Description
The timeless elegance of this Patek Philippe 2551 "Disco Volante" transcends generations and cultures, captivating watch enthusiasts with its appealing design that remains perpetually relevant making it a true icon of horological artistry. Adding to its allure, the watch is powered by Patek Philippe’s very first self-winding movement, the historic calibre 12"600 AT.

The elegant, silver-coloured dial impresses with its excellent condition. Its charming small seconds at 6 o'clock, elongated gold markers, and delicate minute track reflect an unparalleled attention to detail. Housed in a stunning 18-carat yellow gold case with finely graduated lugs and a stepped bezel, this masterpiece earns its evocative nickname "Disco Volante" from its distinctive silhouette. With its ideal diameter of 36 mm, it combines balanced proportions with impressive aesthetics.

Inside beats the historic calibre 12-600 AT - Patek Philippe's first automatic movement, which is considered by collectors to be one of the finest automatic movements in watchmaking history.

A particularly rare and sought-after feature is the double P winding crown, introduced exclusively for the Calibre 12-600 AT. Its rarity, coupled with its iconic design, makes it a highly coveted detail among collectors.

The originality of this timepiece has been officially verified by the extract from the Patek Philippe archives, which confirms its production date as 1960. Beyond being a stylish companion, this watch represents a significant chapter in horological history, making it a precious treasure for discerning collectors and connoisseurs of rare timepieces.
