Patek Philippe
2499
Why It Matters
The ref. 2499 succeeded the 1518 in Patek Philippe's perpetual-calendar chronograph lineage. Its several series record changes in case, dial and pusher design over a long production history. Series and case metal are fundamental collecting distinctions; a notable sale of one configuration does not describe every 2499.
