Patek Philippe ref. 2545R - 18k Rose Gold

A true rarity within an already uncommon reference, this Patek Philippe ref. 2545R is one of just a dozen known examples in rose gold. While it shares the elegant charm that makes its cousin, the ref. 96, so beloved, the 2545 distinguishes itself with a screwback “waterproof” case and a slightly larger 32mm diameter, landing squarely in the Calatrava sweet spot. The warmth of the rose gold case adds a level of character and scarcity that its yellow gold counterparts simply can’t match.

Dating to the mid-1950s, this example remains in beautiful, honest condition with a clean dial and strong case. It’s fitted with a period-correct PPco-signed 18k rose gold buckle.
