Patek Philippe Ref. 1526 Y "Perpetual Calendar"

An icon of horological history, the Patek Philippe Ref. 1526 is celebrated as the first serially produced perpetual calendar wristwatch. Introduced in 1941 and produced until 1952, this groundbreaking model laid the foundation for generations of Patek Philippe perpetual calendars to come.
Crafted in 18 kt yellow gold, the watch is one out of just 210 total pieces produced. The understated case design and minimalist dial highlight the complexity of the movement, which automatically accounts for varying month lengths and leap years.
The case is equally impressive, with sharp lines and a crisp hallmark beneath the lug, confirming its originality. A true collector’s piece, this Ref. 1526 stands as a rare opportunity to own not only one of the earliest perpetual calendar wristwatches ever made, but also a remarkably preserved and historically significant example in yellow gold.
