Notes: Reference 1491, produced between 1940 and 1958, is one of the most charismatic watches made by Patek Philippe. Nicknamed "Riccio" because of the scroll lugs similar to a curly lock of hair, the model is also nicknamed "Fernandel" by French collectors, as the famous comedian was known to wear this reference.
