replica Patek Philippe - 2449R Series 2 Perpetual Calendar Chronograph 2499 watch

A grail watch for many, the 2499 is often seen as one of Patek's finest. Featuring a chronograph and perpetual calendar in a case much sturdier than its predecessor 1518, the 2499 is an icon among icons.

There are generally four versions of the 2499 to be distinguished:

- first series: square chronograph buttons, applied Arabic numerals and
tachymeter scale (1951-1955)
- second series: round chronograph buttons, applied baton or applied
Arabic numerals and tachymeter scale, such as the watch pictured(1955-1960)
- third series: round chronograph buttons, applied baton numerals and outer
seconds divisions with numerals in 5' increments (1960-1978)
-fourth series: round chronograph buttons, applied baton numerals, outer
seconds divisions with numerals in 5' increments and sapphire crystal (1978-1985)

The present example, as sold by Christie's, has a pink gold case.
