An extremely rare model, the Patek Philippe 2295 reference was in production between 1949 and around 1955. It is the petite version of the man’s “Eiffel Tower” 2242.

This model is affectionately dubbed by collectors as "Mistinguett", the name of a French actress and singer who was at one time the highest-paid female entertainer in the world.
