Catalogue Essay
Released in 1963, the Patek Philippe ref. 3483 was only produced in stainless steel and only for a short period of time. With a distinctive Bauhaus design, the case features angular downturned lugs to increase comfort on the wrist while sporting a flat bezel that creates the perfect proportion with the 35mm diameter case. Encased is a beautiful silvered sunburst dial with matching white gold baton indexes exuding a simplistic yet a timeless appeal. Powered by the reliable manual cal. 27 SC, the movement is further stamped with a Geneva seal signifying its desirable quality.
The present example is offered in attractive overall condition and is a perfect timepiece to sport under the cuff every day.
