Est. $15,000-$17,000 Patek Philippe 1960s Calatrava Solid 18K Yellow Gold 35mm Watch (Ref. 3445j) W/Black Alligator Band - This handsome, investment quality timepiece was made by one the most prestigious luxury watchmakers in the industry, Patek Philippe. This fine 1960s Calatrava dress watch features: 36mm solid 18k yellow gold case with waterproof screw on case back; legendary Patek calibre 27-460M automatic movement, which boasts a large and heavy solid gold rotor which provides more than enough inertia to keep the movement wound with only the slightest of physical activity; brushed gold dial with applied baton indexes and hands, date aperture at the 3 o'clock marker and sub seconds register at 6 o'clock; signed on the case, dial and movement; and black alligator band. This vintage wristwatch is truly a collector's dream, and a must-have for any watch enthusiast. 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 approx. 9.75" in length. This watch has recently been serviced, and is in perfect working condition. Movement #: 111XXXX, Case #: 328XXX, Ref. #: 3445j.
