In 1961, the ref.3445 was born and became Patek's first automatic wristwatch with a date function with the caliber 27-460. Case made in 18K white gold, this specific 3445 can be categorised as a little unique due to the baguette indexes at 12,6, and 9 o’clock. It gives that little touch of spark to what is a very classical dress watch. We have not seen another example with this dial configuration in 18K white gold, only found platinum cased 3445s with full baguette indexes. Measuring 35mm in dimensions with 42mm lug to lug, it is the classic vintage dress watch ratio, and will fit under any cuffs. The overall condition of this piece is very good, given the age of the watch. The watches does comes with Extract from the archive from Patek, however does not specify the baguette indexes. The watch will be delivered with a handmade travel pouch from Gobugi as well as an additional leather strap made by us.
