Distinguished by its water-resistant case, screw-down caseback, and distinctive round chronograph pushers, the reference represented a departure from the more traditional chronograph designs of its era. Produced in relatively limited numbers until the late 1960s, the 1463 has become one of the most desirable vintage Patek Philippe chronographs.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis exceptional yellow gold example is distinguished by its rare two-tone silver dial, featuring a beautifully balanced arrangement of contrasting finishes, applied gold hour markers, and Roman numerals at 12 and 6 oclock. The recessed subsidiary registers are complemented by finely printed chronograph scales, including a tachymeter calibrated to a base of 1,000. The subtle contrast between the dials finishes lends the watch a particularly attractive depth while preserving the clarity and elegance of its original design.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nEqually noteworthy is the excellent condition of the watch. The yellow gold case retains strong proportions, with well-defined lugs, a broad bezel, and the characteristic round pushers that have earned the reference its familiar nickname, the Tasti Tondi. The combination of its beautifully preserved case and unusual two-tone dial makes this an especially compelling example of the reference.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAccompanied by an Extract from the Archives of Patek Philippe confirming production in 1945 and subsequent sale in 1946, this Ref. 1463 represents an outstanding example of one of the manufacturers most celebrated vintage chronographs. Its rare dial configuration, early production date, and excellent overall condition distinguish it among surviving examples.\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        ","brand":"Patek Philippe","offers":[{"title":"Two-Tone Silver \/ 35 mm \/ 18k YG","offer_id":51497795715311,"sku":"214640","price":295000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0207\/2436\/files\/214640-1.jpg?v=1794448580","url":"https:\/\/thekeystone.com\/products\/patek-philippe-yellow-gold-chronograph-ref-1463-with-silver-two-tone-dial","provider":"The Keystone Watches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
