So it's a second series, rose-gold Patek 2499, but what does that actually mean and why did I choose to write about it today? Well, Pateks come up for sale all the time. But seldom do really great ones get shown, and even less frequently are they great vintage Pateks. From there, the 2499 second series is rare in itself. When you add the fact it is rose and not yellow gold, you have something just shy of unique. Like I mentioned, there are less than 10 of these in the world, and the odds of them ever changing hands are slim. So, the reason I am writing this article is because when a watch like this is sold, it is done either on the cover of a Christie's catalog or between private friends in a salon in downtown Geneva – not here, on the Internet. And that is what we have here. This rose-gold 2499 is listed for sale from Miami dealer Matthew Bain. You can see the listing right here.
