Dial, case and movement signed, in very good condition NOTE: Reference 1463 was launched in 1940. The reference 1463 is the only Patek Philippe vintage chronograph to have a water-resistant case and it has become one of the iconic watches of the company's production. The majority was cased in yellow gold, some were cased in steel; examples in pink gold are very rare. A similar watch is published in "Patek Philippe Wristwatches", by Martin Huber and Alan Banbery, 1998, page 267.
