Essay: 

Model 2481 was in production for nearly a decade from 1950 to 1960, with most examples in yellow gold, a more limited production in pink or rose gold, one example is known in platinum.
With its 37mm case diameter, it is one of the largest vintage Patek Philippe ever produced, a trait that is nowadays making this model more and more sought-after. Equipped with the celebrated 27SC caliber, the best sweep seconds caliber available at the time. The fascinating case design still retains a "Calatrava" feeling, but with the adoption of unusual, avant-garde solutions such as the concave bezel and the heavily stepped lugs, it is a timepiece that, thanks to the visionary genius of Patek Philippe's design artists, can be worn and appreciated daily even today, more than seventy five years after its conception.  Known as the ‘King Size’, it was introduced into the market in 1950 and was one of the largest wristwatches ever made by Patek Philippe. The model was available with the standard silvered dial.  There were approximately  650 examples in yellow gold and 350 in pink gold. The cases were made by the Le Locle master case maker Bernard Dubois.
