Catalogue Essay
Patek Philippe’s reference 3504 is one of the rarest time only watches to appear at auction with fewer than five known examples to have appeared in public. Its design is timeless, with bold, faceted hour markers and faceted dauphine hands giving it superb legibility. Originally sold in 1963, its dial features raised hard enamel print. A companion piece to the automatic reference 3445, the reference 3504 is a treasure to behold and wear, and this fine example is sure to impress all collectors.
