Patek Philippe & Co. à Genève, Movement No. 1129989, Case No. 326946, Ref. 3445/6, Cal. 27-460M, 35 mm, circa 1969
An elegant automatic Geneva wristwatch with date in practically new condition, sold on December 16th, 1970 - with original box, original certificate, brochures and Patek Philippe extract from the archives - "Full Set" -
Case: 18k white gold, screw back, 18k white gold Milanaise bracelet. Dial: silvered.
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.
