Reference 2552 was introduced in 1955 and stayed in production through 1960. It was the first Patek Philippe built around the manufacture's first self-winding movement, the caliber 12-600 AT. Its 36mm case has a flat, wide bezel and a stepped profile that collectors nicknamed "Disco Volante," Italian for flying saucer. Patek cased it in yellow, white, and rose gold, and in platinum.

How do I check a Patek Philippe 2552 with Watch Safe?
Look up the watch's serial number in the Watch Safe registry to see whether a record exists or a theft flag is attached. A registry search identifies records for a specific serial; it does not authenticate the watch. Authentication is performed in person by an independent expert authenticator, and Watch Safe records and publishes the result.
