So, you think 12 examples makes something rare? Think again. There are only three known examples of the Patek Philippe reference 1563, which is essentially a split-seconds version of the famous ref. 1463 chronograph. One belonged to Duke Ellington, one is safely ensconced in the Patek Museum in Geneva, and then there’s this example, which, to make things even cooler, has luminous hands and luminous Breguet numerals on the dial. This is the stuff horological dreams are made of.
