Extremely Rare Vintage Patek Philippe Ref.1518J 1st Series 1 MILE Tachometer Perpetual Calendar Chronograph in Yellow Gold from 1945

This is a first series and chronologically not even the 60th yellow gold ref. 1518 ever manufactured from which less than 35 were identified back into the market, from those, less than half with MILE dial (American market).

THE MOVEMENT

THE CASE
This case was made by Emile Vichet, Geneva master case-maker key number 9. Case-back marked in its inside with the maker's signature, serial numbers, gold marks and Swiss (Geneva) hallmarks. Solid gold date correctors, chronograph pushers and winding crown.
