A stunning “Marylin”
Nicknamed “ Banana ”, “ Marylin ”, " Osso da morto " (Italian for “dead man's bone”) or, in Japan, “ Mimitabu ” (耳朶, Japanese for “earlobe”), ref. 2442 , introduced in 1948 , is one of Patek Philippe 's most iconic shaped watches. As its total production ...
It's the most beautiful I've seen so far.
I would buy it if the price wasn't so high (€ 62k). Best, Emmanuel

The case is sensuous, especially in profile. Wonderful movement too. Like you, Blansky, patina dials don’t fire me up too much but a reissue would be really nice.
Not my wrist unfortunately.
It’s the most appealing example of 2442 I’ve seen so far (on photos only). Best, Emmanuel
It’s a great case But the printing on the dial looks a bit manky
The case is like a molten sculpture on the wrist Another spectacular piece Case design by markowski I think Julian Ps I reckon a pink gold model with a perfect dial would be more expensive ...
I love yours, Julian !
On this rose gold example, the printing looks manky but I could do with it personally. I love this patinated dial and long signature: I’ve seen no other example like this. Have a great weekend, Best, Emmanuel
So fake dial? How sad.
This is what deeply annoys me about vintage: you have to be constantly on your guard and you can't have any confidence, even in seemingly reputable dealers like Epsadim.
Hi Emmanuel, I understand the attraction for you with this piece !
Curvy shaped case which is right up your alley ! Sounds like a serious contender for your wrist time now 😃
It's not mine, Gordon.
It might even be sold, even if it's still listed on C24. Best, Emmanuel
What a beautiful watch in such a sensual case,
from the side it’s just unbelievable, thanks for sharing it Emmanuel.
