Rare bird
Sold by Antiquorum in 2005, this Patek Philippe Platinum Monopusher Chronograph from 1937 seems to be absolutely unique. Before stumbling across this page by chance, I had never heard of it. Here is an excerpt from the notes from on Antiquorum page: "The ...
That really is a stunning looking Patek Philippe Monopusher Chronograph
Possibly the nicest Patek Philippe chronograph I have seen as the dials colours really appeal to me, amazing to think this watch is approaching 100 years old. Marc
Yes, it’s such a pity that this is the only photo
I’ve been able to find. Hopefully, this watch will resurface at some point. Best, Emmanuel

Agreed!
It’s sad that more photos weren’t taken and more articles written back in 2005 before it was sold for over CFH 1,6M.
I feel the same way.
Let’s hope it’ll resurface someday, so that more photos can be taken and articles written. Best, Emmanuel

What surprises me is that, contrarily to the similar example shown in John Goldberger’s Patek Philippe Steel Watches (see below), the tachymeter scale seems to overlap the two subsidiary dials. I would love to see more photos of this timepiece if you have...
What a beautiful watch…
Surprised that that Patek Philippe did not nab it for their museum.
Yes, it’s surprising. Maybe they tried to get it
but decided to abandon as the hammer price was over CFH 1.6M… Best, Emmanuel
