A $464,500 Patek Philippe Reference 2481 With Cloisonn Eurasia Enamel Dial

February 03, 2012

Back in December, we got to play around with some amazing watches from the Christie's sale (like this one). One of them was the Patek you see here. It's a reference 2481 manufactured in 1956. It is, as you can tell, a relatively simple, tiime-only watch. Still, it pulled down $464,500. Why? Because the dial was Cloisonn enamel showing the historic "supercontinent" of Eurasia. Cloisonn dials are highly sought after by collectors and can make simple watches sell for extreme multiples of its mechanical value - as witnessed here.Click through for more pictures of this beautiful Patek Philippe 2481 with Cloisonn dial.
