Est. $14,000-$15,000 Patek Philippe 1960's Calatrava Solid 18K Yellow Gold 35mm Watch (Ref. 3429) W/Black Leather Band - This handsome and rare timepiece was made by one the most prestigious luxury watchmakers in the industry, Patek Philippe. This Calatrava watch with reference # 3429 was first introduced in the 1960's and had a very limited production when compared to the other more heavily produced examples such as the ref. 3445, making this an investment quality and highly collectible piece and a must have for any watch enthusiast. The iconic elements of this watch include: solid 18k yellow gold 35mm case, legendary caliber 27-460 automatic movement, champagne dial with applied gold baton markers, sword hands and small seconds dial at 6 o'clock, collectible original PP crown and domed crystal. The watch is on a black genuine leather band, and will be shipped in a watch box. Patek Phillippe watches are some of the most sought after in the world, as it is said that fewer than 1 million Patek Philippe watches have been made since 1839. The Patek production is so detailed that it takes approximately nine months to make its most basic watches, and over two years to produce some of the more complicated pieces. This watch has excellent investment potential, as Patek Philippe resale value is above that of all other makers, vintage or modern. The watch measures 9.25" in length.
