Patek Philippe “Tasti Tondi” Reference 1463 in 18k Yellow Gold w/ Extract from the Archives

The Patek Philippe chronograph reference 1463 is one of the most important and iconic references from the manufacturer. It is estimated that 750 examples were produced. The reference 1463 was introduced in circa 1940 and remained in production until the 1960s. We are excited to share this incredible example in yellow gold dating to the 1950s.

The two-register chronograph is powered by the calibre 13-130. These cases were produced by François Borgel (Taubert Frères). Taubert Frères is regarded as one of the most exceptional chronograph case manufacturers of all time. The case is made of 18k yellow gold. It measures approximately 35mm in diameter and 42.5mm lug-to-lug. The case is very strong and possibly unpolished.

It features an Arabic numeral dial which is very beautiful. The dial and hands are in excellent condition. Finding a grail reference such as this if a special opportunity. The watch is paired on a Honey Wind leather strap. 

It does not come with a box or papers. It comes with an Extract from the Archives. It was produced in 1953 and sold in 1954. We do not know the service history, but it is running well. For those with a passion for important Patek Philippe models, this is a particularly special timepiece.
