Catalogue Note
With a Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives.
Ref. 3445 was the first calendar wristwatch produced by the company in series. It is one of the most popular automatic wrist🐼watches made by Patek Philippe and incorporates the highly regarded calibre 27-460. This calibre is known for its efficiency and exceptional quality. To ensure that the watch is continually and smoothly wound when worn, a gold rotor is incorporated. Ref. 3445/6 differentiates itself from other variations of the same reference with its integrated bracelet and lug-less design.
Ref. 3445 and Calibre 27-460 M are illustrated in Huber, M. & Banbery, A., Patek Philippe Wristwatches, 1997 edition, pp. 220-221
