The Patek Philippe reference 3445 stands as one of the most iconic Calatrava models of the 1960s, combining classical elegance with technical innovation.

The 18K yellow gold case, defined by clean lines and perfectly balanced proportions, reflects the timeless aesthetic of the Geneva manufacture. The champagne dial is minimalist and refined, featuring applied hour markers and a discreet date window at 3 o’clock, creating a harmonious and highly legible composition.

A defining feature of this reference is its automatic movement, relatively uncommon within the Calatrava family of the period, marking an important step in Patek Philippe’s technical evolution. The calibre 27-460M is admired for its reliability, precision and fine finishing.

This example is further enhanced by the presence of its original yellow gold buckle and the Extract from the Archives, elements that significantly increase its collectability and integrity.

Preserved in excellent condition, it represents a highly desirable vintage timepiece for collectors seeking a refined and historically important Patek Philippe.
