PATEK PHILIPPE Vintage Perpetual Calendar Chronograph Moonphase "Grand Complication" Reference 2499 Mark III 18k Yellow Gold Extract from the Archives Box 1969 Very Rare

We are delighted to present this outstanding vintage Patek Philippe Perpetual Calendar Chronograph, reference 2499 Mark III, crafted in 18k yellow gold and preserved in beautiful vintage condition. Manufactured in 1969, this exceptional timepiece is accompanied by its Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives together with its presentation box, confirming its historical significance and authenticity.

Few wristwatches have achieved the legendary status of the Patek Philippe reference 2499. Considered by many collectors to be one of the greatest complicated wristwatches ever produced, it represents the perfect harmony between technical mastery, timeless design, and extraordinary rarity. Produced over more than three decades in only approximately 349 examples, the reference 2499 remains one of the most desirable vintage Patek Philippe references ever created.

The Mark III series, produced during the 1960s and early 1970s, is especially admired for its elegant round chronograph pushers, refined stepped case, applied gold baton indexes, and beautifully balanced dial layout. At 37.5 mm, the case was remarkably modern for its era and still wears with outstanding proportions today.

The warm silver dial perfectly showcases the harmonious arrangement of the perpetual calendar indications, moon phase display, chronograph registers, and tachymeter scale. 

Inside beats the legendary manually wound Patek Philippe Calibre 13''' CH, one of the finest chronograph Lemania based movements ever adapted to a perpetual calendar wristwatch. Renowned for its traditional architecture, outstanding finishing.

Accompanied by its Extract from the Archives and presentation box, this reference 2499 offers exactly the kind of provenance collectors seek. Watches of this importance rarely become available, particularly examples preserved in such attractive original condition.
