Patek Philippe Archive Extract

This rose gold Patek Philippe 565, dated 1946, represents one of the purest and most balanced expressions of Swiss watchmaking. Produced during a period of great creative ferment for the Geneva-based watchmaker, the reference 565 is today considered an absolute classic among manual-winding Patek Philippe watches with a small seconds dial.

The rose gold case, with its harmonious proportions and understated yet assertive lines, is in extraordinary condition, with its well-defined edges and surfaces testifying to its exceptional preservation over time. The original dial, elegant and legible, is embellished with applied indexes and the refined arrangement of the small seconds dial at 6 o’clock, a detail that lends balance and character to the overall design. The hands, consistent in both era and style, complete a timeless aesthetic.

The manually wound mechanical movement, an expression of Patek Philippe’s finest technical tradition, embodies the obsessive attention to detail and craftsmanship that have made the brand a benchmark in fine watchmaking.

The watch is accompanied by an official extract from the archives certifying its authenticity, production date, and delivery, adding further historical and collectible value. A rare and fascinating timepiece, intended for a discerning collector or anyone seeking an authentic piece of Patek history, capable of combining elegance, prestige, and enduring value.
