Patek Philippe Calatrava Ref 2552, Full Arabic Numerals

 

Patek Forum,


Has anyone seen a Patek Calatrava Ref: 2552 with full Arabic Numerals before? The watch is currently being serviced at Patek in Switzerland and I have the paperwork but have yet to see this particular dial? Would this have been of custom ordering, request, or limited run?

Any information would be great, I am having a new black leather band put on by Patek Philippe and this has the Double "PP" on the crown. The man who owned it was a titan in the engineering field and associated with many projects among those the hoover dam project and many other Multi-Billion Dollar Operations in their history. He owned it until he passed away in 1971 and his wife recently had it until I picked it up at her Estate Sale but I am unsure of the quantity out there of this dial type.

Any Information would be great.

is nice as well. Never saw one like this before. The only info I can add is that he probably paid about $ 800,-. It would be great if you keep us updated about additional info and the watch after service. Thanks and good luck! Oliver

Please, only service the movement, but no service the dial, the case, and the hands!

Thanks for the information and I'll update with what happens

Looks great!

And a wonderful story. Beats having a new piece without any history, especially if you are interested in engineering and construction (I understand you are).

I am and it's in...

I am and it's in like new condition so it's time for me to start its new story. I love these time pieces and in their own right they all have their unique stories.

Awesome!!

It is an unusual layout I didn't know about. However I'm glad this watch is in the hands of an owner who wears it regularly, from the updates you bring to this thread. Thanks a lot and keep on wearing it often! Cheers, Mark

Thanks for your kind words

Mark, Thanks for your kind words. I enjoy wearing the watch and oddly enough if it wasn't for owning it, and I probably never would've never found this site as my other pieces are Breitlings instead. That said and I've learned a whole lot more about timep...
