We are proud to offer the timeless Patek Philippe Reference 3425, a sophisticated waterproof yellow gold dress watch from the esteemed Calatrava collection. Production for this reference began in 1960 and continued through 1966, and it is believed to be among the first models to feature Patek Philippe's newly introduced automatic caliber, the 27-460, which succeeded the legendary 12-600.
This reference features the highly reliable Caliber 27-460 automatic movement, known for its precision, 37 jewels, and Geneva Seal, a mark of quality and craftsmanship. Paired with a 33mm yellow gold case crafted by Wenger, the renowned case maker, this timepiece showcases Swiss watchmaking excellence. The modest case size offers an elegant wrist presence while ensuring durability and timeless style.
The pristine white dial, adorned with black lacquer-applied Roman numerals, adds a classic and striking touch, creating a high-contrast look that enhances legibility and elegance. A rare feature of this piece is its original crown, marked with the “PP” insignia—only found on automatic watches from this era, as later service crowns typically feature the Calatrava cross. This detail adds authenticity and value, making this a cherished addition for collectors who prioritize originality.
