Patek Philippe Calatrava

Patek Philippe is one of the few brands that knows how to execute simple perfection.  Over the years, their dress-line Calatrava has evolved, but the look remains unmistakable and iconic, and its rich history provides the vintage enthusiast with a variety of choices in metals, sizes, and tiny details to obsess over. This particular example, a Reference 3420 is finished in 18k yellow gold and features a champagne dial with applied stick indices, pencil handset, and a subsidiary seconds register. Dating to circa 1960s, it features a perfectly sized 34mm case with a snap back case back! Powered by a manual winding Calibre, it truly epitomizes what Patek Philippe is most known for- understated elegance and delicate finishing. A manually wound movement provides a slender profile on the wrist and allows the watch to slide under any dress cuff. A perfect dress watch for everyday wear. In other words- everything you need, nothing you don’t.
