Now, it getting interesting, since so far no other one appeared with its original platinum bracelet. (detachable).

We love to talk about really, really rare collector´s pieces, here we have one of these.

Mint, full set and ultra rare!

Clearly one of the most important PATEK pieces, to appear this year. Coming from the lifelong collection of a German gentlemen and its first ownership.

"Known by collectors as the ?monodate', Patek Philippe's standard reference 3445 is considered as one of the most convincing and timeless designs ever created for any wristwatch. It is free of any decoration and was never intended to be fashionable. On the contrary, with a production spanning two full decades it has proven to withstand passing trends and the ever changing moods of consumers. Consequently, it comes as no surprise that reference 3445 was made in all different colors of gold but also, in an extremely small quantity, in platinum.

Reference 3445, Patek Philippe's first calendar watch made in series, was in production from 1961 to 1981.

The model and its calibre 27-460M movement are illustrated in: Patek Philippe Wristwatches by Martin Huber & Alan Banbery, first edition, pp. 172 & 173.? Christie´s auction catalog, Nov. 27th. 2019.

Comes with a one year warranty from our watch lab.
