Undated1 variant

The other vintage two-pusher split-seconds Patek besides the 1436. Only three are known: one ex-Duke Ellington in the Patek Philippe Museum, one sold in 2013, one from Jean-Claude Biver’s collection with a two-tone pulsometer dial.

Three known.

One of the three known ref. 1563 water-resistant split-seconds chronographs (the case is engraved 1463, hence '1463/1563'): yellow-gold case with round pushers and screw-down back, silvered dial with luminous Breguet numerals and tachymeter; shown with its caseback and Archive extract. Later sold at Christie's Geneva in 2013. · Photo: Antiquorum · © Antiquorum, used with permission · Source: https://catalog.antiquorum.swiss/en/lots/patek-philippe-ref-ref-1463-lot-171-530
