Catalogue Essay
Launched in 1960 and produced until 1970, the Patek Philippe reference 3435 is a gorgeous vintage watch with a characteristic snap-back case back. The reference 3435 was created to replace the preceding reference 2584 of which it differs by a smaller case. Adding an element of rarity, the reference was mostly made in yellow gold, and only a handful of examples were produced in platinum and pink gold. Less than 500 examples were made with this reference in total. To our best knowledge, the present watch is fresh to the market, making it a great timepiece to own.
