1963 PATEK PHILIPPE Vintage Mens Handwound Dress Watch Ref. 2599 - 18K Gold
Very Fine
Rare - Pleasing Condition - 1 Year Warranty
We are proud to offer this very fine Patek Philippe mens handwound dress watch in pleasing condition.
With its understated silver face and timeless case with downward turned lugs, it showcases a classic and elegant vintage Patek style.
Introduced in the early 1960s, the Patek Philippe Ref. 2599 represents a hidden gem in the maison’s history: a less common reference made in smaller numbers, embodying the quiet elegance that defined Patek’s golden era. It represents a fleeting transitional reference.
While it does not carry the fanfare of perpetual calendars or split-second chronographs, its significance lies precisely in its restraint.
Powering the watch is its illustrious Patek Philippe 10 ligne movement, stamped in two places with the prestigious Poingon de Genhve, unquestionably among the finest hand-winding movements ever built.
Extremely high grade, it has eight adjustments - five for chronometer positions and three for heat, cold, and even isochronism. Isochronism is the amount of wind left in the movement. Most watches slow down slightly as their power reserve moves toward empty. That is not the case with this watch - it is very high-grade. It also features an early example of Patek's Gyromax balance with moveable gold weights on the balance wheel instead of a traditional regulator.
It presents in pleasing condition. All parts of the watch are original down to the hands, and winding crown.
Its Patek Philippe case, slightly heavier than similar models, is in excellent condition with fairly light wear and fairly light signs of prevoius polishing. It retains both of its hallmarks on the sides of its lugs. Its dial perfectly retains its original raised enamel Patek Philippe signature.
One of our Master Watchmakers has fully serviced the watch which consists of fully disassembling the movement, carefully inspecting each part, installing a correct new mainspring, reassembling and lubricating the movement, and extensive timing testing and regulation (a $795 value).
It's running strong and true - it continues to keep time nearly on par with a new Patek in our testing recording position.
For the finishing touch it comes equipped it with a crocodile strap making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
Please inquire if you would like us to obtain a Patek Phillipe Archive Extract for it. Patek charges 500 CHF.
Your watch is important to us, and we will take care of it for its lifetime. We provide the best after sale care in the business with an extremely experienced team of four Master Watchmakers all of whom each have over thirty-five years of experience and a large number of parts. One used to be the watchmaker for an authorized Rolex dealership and was given training by Rolex at their Beverly Hills Service Center.

Patek Philippe
It shouldn’t be surprising that a Patek Philippe holds the world auction record for a watch ($31.2 million for a Patek Grandmaster Chime, sold at Christie’s). Known for impeccable craftsmanship and some of the most complicated timepieces ever created, the brand is considered by many to be the height of fine watchmaking. Collectors simply love Patek Philippe watches.
The house was founded in Geneva in 1839 by Polish expats Antoni Patek and Franciszek Czapek. Czapek left the firm, and in 1845, Patek partnered with French watchmaker Jean Adrien Philippe. It was the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
Catering to the glitterati of Europe, the pair counted among their clients Tolstoy, Pope Pius IX and Queen Victoria, as well as Countess Koscowicz of Hungary, for whom they created the first Swiss-made wristwatch in 1868. They also had their eye on the American market and in 1851 entered an arrangement with Tiffany Co. still in effect today.
During the Great Depression, brothers Jean and Charles Stern, who had previously supplied Patek Philippe with watch dials, bought the company, and it continues to be run by the Stern family today.
Under the Sterns, the house has developed some of its most famous models, including the Calatrava, an elegantly minimal dress watch introduced in 1932 and named for the Calatrava Cross (the company’s logo since 1887), and the Nautilus, the brand’s first sports watch, conceived by legendary designer Gérald Genta in 1976.
Despite the house’s longevity, it’s rumored that it has manufactured fewer than a million Patek watches, making each one all the more coveted. (The brand's pieces are understandably attractive to counterfeiters — make sure you know how to spot a fake Patek Philippe watch.)
