This Ref: 2552 is in its complete original configuration. The timepiece retains its rare "double P" crown, and even rarer original buckle produced by a supplier in the US during the period. This is highlighted due to the misspelling of Patek Philippe as "Patek Phillipe", on the inside gold rim. This misspelling had a production of less than one year before correction, making this one of the rarest Patek Philippe buckles made.
