Categories:Archive, Classic, Complications

Produced in 586 examples from 1962 to 1982, with the caliber 27-460 Q, the majority in yellow gold, rarely in pink or white gold. This series began with the serial number 1119000.

White gold are among the rarest with approximately 130 pieces made, with about 50 having appeared at auction. The successor of the Patek 2499, the 3448 was a milestone in Patek Philippe’s history featuring a perpetual calendar wristwatch in its purest form devoid of a leap year indicator that was later produced. Consigned by a Swiss client, this example has never been offered at auction before and has been maintained in very good condition featuring a strong and clear punchmark on the outer case as well as its original dial.
