The Patek Philippe Reference 2570 Amagnetic is launched in 1955 and remained in production until the early-1980s. The model, anti-magnetic to 450 Oersted, was made especially for radiologists, nuclear physicists and engineers. The majority in yellow gold, more rarely in rose gold. Few examples were made in stainless steel between 1955 and 1958. Around 250 examples were produced.
