This Patek Philippe wristwatch, Ref. 2526, signed and retailed by Gübelin, is part of Bonhams’ The Art of Time auction. It features its original 18-karat gold D-type brick guilloche Gay Frères bracelet. Considered one of the finest and over-engineered automatic movements ever made, the 12-600 AT was Patek Philippe’s first foray into the automatic movement world. Jonathan Snellenburg, director, watches and clocks, for Bonhams New York, says: “I feel that the current and future strength of the collectors’ watch market is in pieces like this, in other words, rare vintage watches in unusually fine condition.” |
