Catalogue Note:
The visionary Gilbert Albert, at the helm of Patek Philippe’s creative department from 1955 to 1962, invigorated the design language of the Maison with the Ricochet collection of 1960, which remains among the manufacture’s most recognisable designs for its sculptural, pebble-like forms suggestive of movement. Crafted in 18k yellow gold with a textured case and dial, this keyless lever pocket watch is powered by the manual-winding calibre 23-300, allowing for a structured yet remarkably thin case. This example, presented in very good condition, comes with its accompanying chain and Certificate of Origin.
