Patek Philippe Calatrava 3445
big 35mm case - yellow gold case - elegant and timeless design
SoldThe reference 3445 is a high-precision wristwatch from 1964 with a timeless and elegant design. The vintage classic owes its noble and harmonious charisma to the champagne dial, which is housed in an 18-carat yellow gold case. The thin case profile and small lugs are very delicate and stylish. The long indices and thin hands add even more elegance and balance to the dial. The date is displayed in the rectangular window at 3 o'clock and the small running seconds sub-dial is at 6 o'clock.
Due to its diameter of 35mm, this Patek Philippe Calatrava was considered large in the 1960s. However that big diameter is why this reference is so coveted by today's vintage collectors. The watch also has a screwed case back, which is a rarity when it comes to Vintage Patek Philippe Calatravas.
The offered Calatrava is accompanied by the official Patek Philippe extract from the archives. The document confirms the year of manufacture 1964, the date of sale June 17, 1964 and other important data about the watch.
