The pop artist's Patek could now be yours.
Introduced in 1953, the 2526 was equipped with Patek’s first automatic movement: the self-winding caliber 12-600 AT. This technical innovation was paired with a slim, simple case and a classic eggshell-hued enamel dial. Patek chose this hardwearing material as it’s not susceptible to oxidation or moisture damage. As a result, enamel dials seldom tarnish or deteriorate.The 2526 quickly became a favorite among collectors and was subsequently reimagined with different metals and dials.
The artist reportedly bought the watch from Serpico Y Laino in Venezuela. The venerated retailer added its stamp at 6 o’clock, right under Patek’s insignia. The watch is in good nick, too. Sotheby’s says the case is in overall good condition and the enamel dial is intact. The numbers show light wear and a little oxidation, but they are otherwise fine.It’s not the first time this piece has been offered at auction.
