The 2552 is one of the charming Calatrava models, nicknamed the "Flying Saucer." The J version is lovely, but I didn't know there was a P version. I personally prefer the one without the diamond indices.
“La Maison Platine”
This full platinum example with original bracelet of Patek Philippe 's ref. 2552 will be sold by Sotheby's next April 24th. For whatever reason, they call it “ La Maison Platine ” (The Platinum House). What is certain is that platinum 2552s are very rare ...
I wouldn’t mind with or without diamonds 😉
Very elegant and classy in both configuration, thanks for sharing Emmanuel!
It was just a reference to the film's title, but I got it wrong!!!
It's Diamonds are FOREVER, not eternal (in French the translation is "Les diamants sont éternels")...
Hi Emmanuel, most interesting and unique feature from all is the
"mesh" bracelet in th first one sold by Cartier ! Is this bracelet made by Cartier or Patek ? I love the pattern !
As you can read on the Cartier certificate,
the bracelet replaced the original strap and Sotheby's says “platinum Cartier bracelet and folding clasp”: that's all I know! Best, Emmanuel
ummm...I wonder if this fine mesh bracelet would
impact the price positively, negatively or neutral
The estimate is between 5000k and 10.000k HKD:
I wonder how much the PP Museum would be willing to pay to acquire it... Best, Emmanuel
In this case, I think I prefer the regular version.
The only thing I'm not completely fond of is that it's an automatic movement. Best, Emmanuel
I prefer the regular one too.
Only 9 platinum examples are known to exist, so they are very very rare. I personally like the “flying saucer” stepped bezel. Best, Emmanuel
Beautiful! I like this reference a lot because of the “flying saucer” stepped bezel.
Thank you for sharing. Best, Emmanuel
