Patek Philippe

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 orde...  

bravo , beautiful. a blast from the past. excelent. cheers geross

Incredible!!! Never seen this dial combination ever before on a 2552 or otherwise for the time period. Congrats!!! Roni

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 your input, it is already being serviced at this time so I'll update you upon its return with pictures.

Just received word that the full arabic numeral ref 2552 is back in the US From Patek. I'll post pictures when it comes in, should be in a day or two.

to the pictures :-)

please give it some air and special attention with a loupe and a camera :-) You should be very happy, it looks superb - even in plastic. HAGWE, Oliver

Lovely piece with a special provenance- looks great ...  

That looks beautiful

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 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.

And great to see it being worn!! Best Roni

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

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...
