With Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present watch with Breguet numerals and tachometer scale in 1939 and its subsequent sale on October 29th, 1941. The watch is further accompanied by a Cartier Certificate of Authenticity N. GE2006-55 dated 20th March 2006 confirming that this watch was retailed by Cartier New York in 1941.

The present example is possibly one of only two examples of the legendary reference 1436 spilt-seconds chronograph in yellow gold with Breguet numerals and retailed by Cartier to appear in public to date.

Since its introduction to the market in 1938, reference 1436 remained the best known split-seconds chronograph model produced by Patek Philippe. It was predominantly cased in either yellow or pink gold - no examples are known to date in white gold or platinum. The elegant reference 1436 and its high quality and complex movement certainly marked a peak in the evolution of technical wristwatches - an area in which Patek Philippe has been foremost for generations.

During over 30 years of production, reference 1436 saw a fascinating development both technically and aesthetically. Numerous dial designs have been given to this model. Until production of reference 1436 was discontinued in the early 1970s it has seen two different constructions in regard to how the chronograph seconds hand would be split. On the first generation of this model, such as the present example, made until the late 1940s, the crown would serve as a button to split and reunite the two seconds hand. The second generation was fitted with a co-axial push button within the crown for the split seconds function.
