Released in 1961, the Patek Philippe ref. 3445 was the firm’s first serially produced self-winding wristwatch with date. Adopting a two-piece screw down case made by master casemaker Antoine Gerlach, the wristwatch is waterproof and was made in several case materials including, yellow, white, pink gold and platinum. Introduced one year before the coveted ref. 3448, the case shape and design shares uncanny resemblance.
The present example from 1971 is presented in attractive overall condition encased in 18K white gold furthermore with a linen-textured surface. Referenced 3445/6, the timepiece features an integrated white gold bracelet similarly textured to match the case. A nice and attractive dress watch perfect to be paired with a linen suit.
