Grail Watch: Patek Philippe Ref. 1463

The Patek Philippe reference 1463 has always been one of my favorite chronograph models. Patek Philippe produced this model in the 1940s and it was phased out in the 1960s. The reference 1463 was considered to a be a waterproof watch back in the day with its screw down case back and round chronograph buttons with beautiful spiral design tops. The manual wind movement caliber 13-130 of the 1463 is a real workhorse and considered one of the best chronograph movements every produced.

We were extremely excited to acquire this particular Patek Philippe as it came fresh from the original family as a presentation for services at the Garrett Corporation, a turbine engine company. This 1463 is in excellent condition with an unpolished case and an original untouched dial. It is very difficult today to find such a nice example and rare watch that is fresh to the market and from the original family. Check out this Patek Philippe Ref. 1463 for sale.
