Like its contemporary, Patek’s illustrious Ref. 1491, the Ricciolo stands proudly, a bold design that defies conventions. Imagine the scene: post-war Europe, an era of rebirth and creativity. The Ricciolo is a symbol of this renaissance, a watch that captures the spirit of its time while simultaneously pushing the boundaries of design.

As the light hits the solid 18k gold case, one can’t help but admire the scroll lugs that make this piece a wearable work of art. The sector dial, a universal hallmark of fine watchmaking, features Breguet numerals that almost leap from the surface. A gentle, even patina has developed over the decades and adds character that speaks to its journey through time.

As one studies the Ricciolo, it becomes evident that every aspect of its design has been meticulously considered. The lugs, for instance, while bold in their artistic expression, are also sensitive to polishing, making well-preserved examples like this one exceedingly rare.

Only a handful of these rare examples exist, echoing the beauty of a world where every second counts and every note resonates with passion. One can almost hear the echoes of laughter, conversations shared over candlelit dinners, moments of triumph celebrated with friends and quiet contemplations spent in solitude.
