1967 Patek Philippe Calatrava 18k Yellow Gold Double Signed Gübelin Silvered Dial 3445
This is an exceptionally well-preserved and very rare 18k yellow gold Circa 1967 Patek Philippe reference 3445, mid-size 35mm and featuring a fantastic silvered dial double signed by the famous retailer "Gübelin". The watch is in excellent condition, showing only light signs of wear or minor scratches, which are to be expected for a piece of its age.
The Patek Philippe reference 3445, introduced in the early 1960s, holds the distinction of being the brand's first serially produced automatic watch with a date complication, powered by the Caliber 27-460M. This elegant timepiece embodies Patek Philippe's understated sophistication, with its clean and minimalist design, featuring a round 35mm case, dauphine hands, applied hour markers, and a subtly integrated date window at 3 o'clock. Crafted primarily in yellow gold, though also available in white gold and platinum, the 3445 is celebrated for its timeless proportions and mechanical excellence. Its automatic movement, equipped with a beautifully decorated 18k gold rotor, exemplifies Patek Philippe's dedication to precision and artistry. Today, the 3445 remains a classic choice for collectors who appreciate its historical significance and enduring elegance.
Gübelin, established in 1854 in Lucerne, Switzerland, is a distinguished family-owned company renowned for its expertise in gemology, jewelry, and horology.
