PATEK PHILIPPE. AN EXTREMELY FINE AND IMPORTANT, PROBABLY UNIQUE 18K GOLD PERPETUAL CALENDAR WRISTWATCH WITH MOON PHASES AND SWEEP CENTER SECONDS SIGNED PATEK PHILIPPE, GENèVE, RETAILED BY GUMBINER, REF. 2497, MOVEMENT NO. 888'037, CASE NO. 678'864, MANUFACTURED IN 1953 Movement: Cal. 27 SC Q, manual, 18 jewels, stamped twice with the Geneva seal, balance bridge engraved “HOX”, signed Dial: First-series with applied Arabic and dot numerals, calendar in English, signed by maker and retailer Case: Snap on back engraved “Gordon M. F. Stick / Glen Arm / Maryland / U.S.A., 37.7 mm diam., signed With: 18k gold Patek Philippe buckle, Extract from the Archives confirming manufacture of the present watch in 1953 and its subsequent sale on 31 October 1955 This almost certainly unique double-signed reference 2497 is the only example known to date bearing the signature of the prestigious Madison Avenue, New York jeweller Gumbiner. Last seen on the market over 20 years ago, it is one of around 50 pieces made in yellow gold with a case by Wenger. Of these only around six are double-signed with both Patek Philippe’s signature and a retailer’s signature. No other reference 2497 is known to have Gumbiner’s signature. The retailer signature is also placed in an unusual location on the dial, just below the calendar windows and above the maker’s signature rather than the more usual position within the moon phase circle. The movement is engraved with the “HOX” mark on the movement, especially for watches to be exported to the US, perfectly supporting the American retailer’s name and the case back inscription dedicated to a local first owner. Reference 2497 was produced from 1951 until 1963. First series cases were made by Vichet, second series cases, like the present watch, were made by Wenger, produced starting in 1953-1954, the present watch is one of the very first watches made with a second series case. To the delight of the purist, the dial is both original and extremely well preserved with only the most minor of blemishes. The hard enamel Patek Philippe signature, outer scale and date numerals are beautifully preserved as is the painted Gumbiner signature. The case retains strong edges on the lugs, two sharp and clearly visible hallmarks underneath the lugs, the surface finish is very appealing and enhances the voluptuous curves of this classic example of Wenger’s workmanship. Available for the first time in over two decades, this exceptional watch offers the opportunity for the discerning collector to acquire one of the most exclusive reference 2497’s to be seen on the market in several years. The Movement Movement serial no. 888’037 was made in 1953, a calibre 27 SC Q (Q for Quantième), rhodiumed brass, 18’000 train count, amagnetic monometallic balance, micrometric precision adjustment. The calibre 27 SC Q was launched in 1951. It was based on the in-house 27 SC (launched in 1950) to replace the 12 120 SC. This movement was produced by Patek Philippe until 1970. Exactly like its predecessor, the 12 120 Q, the perpetual calendar feature was added by Les Fils de Victorin Piguet workshops. It is a simple evolution of the 1891 patent by Patek Philippe on perpetual calendars and it was Victorin Piguet, then his sons, who always supplied and mounted this speciality mechanism. The calendar disks and the moon phases wheel were made by Stern Frères because these required the experience and know-how of a dial-maker. The Dial By Stern Frères, made circa 1953, on a gold plate base, opalin-mat-silver finish, engraved-enamelled inscriptions, signature and auxiliary dial. The applied “Arabic” markers, the applied dots and the “Feuille” hours, minutes and subsidiary seconds hands are yellow gold, the calendar hand is flame-blued steel. The engraved-enamelled English date is on silvered gold calendar disks, the moon phase wheel is gold overlaid with champlevé blue enamel. The Case This case serial no. 678’864 was made in 1953-1954 by master case maker Wenger, Geneva, whose mark of a number 1 within a key is found in the back of the case. Also marked inside with the maker’s signature, serial numbers, gold marks and Swiss (Geneva) hallmarks. Two hallmarks on the outside of the case, behind two lugs, on each side of the watch. The inscription for Gordon M. F. Stick on the back of the case seems to be period and was engraved in the US probably at the purchase or shortly afterwards. We are grateful to Eric Tortella for his assistance and study in researching this watch. Reference 2497 In production from 1951 to 1964, reference 2497 was at the time, together with its sister waterproof reference 2438/1, the first and only sweep centre seconds perpetual calendar available on the market. Furthermore, a similar set of complications was not replicated by Patek Philippe until 1993, when they launched references 5050 and 5059. Reference 2497 was available in the three gold colours and in platinum. It is known that one hundred seventy nine 27SC calibers were upgraded with the perpetual calendar and moon phase modules. It is estimated that around 115 of these movements were eventually cased in a 2497 case, thus making this reference one of the rarest complicated Patek Philippe models ever made. For example, reference 1518 was made in 281 examples, and the reference 2499 total output was 349 pieces. Both the dial and the case of this reference present an evolution over time. Earlier cases were made by Vichet and feature flat case backs and more prominently downturned lugs, while later examples made by Wenger feature more rounded case backs and straighter lugs (the same evolution as reference 2499). The scarcity of special orders and variations highlights the exclusivity of this reference and the importance it had in the panorama of Patek Philippe's oeuvre of the time. GORDON M.F. STICK GLEN ARM MARYLAND Gordon M. F. Stick, (born Gordon Malvern Fair Stick) was born July 17, 1903 and died October 24, 1986). He was an American businessman from Baltimore, Maryland, who served as the 20th President General of the General Society of the War of 1812 from 1970 to 1975. Gordon Stick was born in Nagoya, Japan, from Estes Pearl (née Fair) and Jacob Monroe Stick, a Lutheran minister and missionary. The family moved from Japan to Baltimore, Maryland, in 1913. After graduating from the Johns Hopkins University (where he was a classmate of Alger Hiss) he began his career as an investment banker and retired as Vice President of Sales for FX Hooper Company, Inc. in Baltimore, Maryland. D. GUMBINER Gumbiner was a family jeweller on New York’s Madison Avenue retailing jewellery with brand names or under its own name. The company were retailing brands such as Patek Philippe and other brands including Ch.Meylan, Elgin, Hamilton, IWC, Universal. Watches or clocks personalized by Gumbiner can be found dating from the late 1930s to the late 1970s’ Among them the Patek Philippe references 1463, 1526, 2497, 2499 and a reference 3406. Ref. 2497 is illustrated in: Patek Philippe Wristwatches, Martin Huber and Alan Banbery, 1998 Edition, pp. 284 to 287. Also illustrated in: the Blue Book 1, by Eric Tortella, 2018 edition, pp. 512 to 535.
