Patek Philippe & Co.

Calatrava

A very attractive, unpolished vintage Geneva wristwatch with date

Sold

This Calatrava, reference 3445 has an 18 K white gold case and is in immaculate condition with a beautiful silvered sunburst dial, black Roman numerals and elegant black baton hands.

Reference 3445 is more than just an exquisite dress watch - it was the first automatic watch with a date Patek Philippe ever produced in series. At the time when the watch was made, people usually possessed one watch for all occasions and relied heavily on it, so it was very practical that this timepiece should have a date and an automatic movement. Beauty and function - the embodiment of everything the brand Patek Philippe stands for.
