1923 Patek Philippe Drivers Watch 18k Gold w/ Extract

Life in the fast lane.

$24,950

OVERVIEW

Imagine driving so intently that you can’t even take your hand off the steering wheel for a second to look at your watch, which is exactly who this watch was designed for back in the 1920s. Meant to be worn on the side of the wrist for maximum eye to dial exposure, this art-deco styled “driver’s watch” is as niche as it gets. Which is probably why there are only about 11 examples in yellow gold known to date and even far less in white gold.

Despite a small case size, the wide lugs, sharp angles, and faceted crystal give the watch a pretty masculine look on the wrist and would be the perfect partner to your old classic roadster.
