Launched in 1961 and in production for twenty years, the ref. 3445 was the first simple calendar wristwatch produced by Patek Philippe in a series. With the aesthetically beautiful and highly functional self-winding caliber 27-460, this simple date watch was available with or without a bracelet and with a variety of different dials. The cases by Antoine Gerlach were made in 18K yellow gold, white gold, rose gold, and platinum. Here we have a fine and crisp example in white gold belonging to the first series and featuring a silvered dial made by Stern Frères with applied gold indexes.
Bracelet size: Approx. 7 3/4 inches
Overall Condition: Service is recommended.

Potential buyers should be advised that though the watch may be running at the time of cataloging, it may stop running before the auction and servicing is recommended for all timepieces. The authenticity of individual parts is not guaranteed since repairs and restoration may have occurred. Hindman assumes all watches are unisex and does not specify the gender of a piece.
