There are few brands that know how to execute simple perfection better than Patek Philippe.
This piece, a Reference 4429/1J, dates back to the 1980s and features an 18k yellow gold stepped rectangular case with an integrated textured bracelet and a polished black onyx stone dial with a matching ‘dauphine’ handset.
Powered by the manually-wound Calibre 16-250, it measures only 6mm in thickness by 22mm wide, offering a svelte wearing experience quite unlike many heftier pieces from the era. In absolutely lovely unpolished condition throughout with crisp hallmarks and a signed clasp, this is a truly stunning piece, perhaps perfectly epitomizing what Patek Philippe is most known for — understated elegance.
