Description
Here is one of Patek’s most collectable Calatrava watches: the reference 3514 featuring massive 18k screw down case back and the unparalleled automatic winding Caliber 27-460M. The watch is also oversized for its era.
Original solid 18k gold case with screw back and dimensions of 34mm diameter by 10mm thick. Crown is signed with Calatrava Cross. Generously domed plastic crystal gives this watch a real vintage look. The significance of the screw down case back is that this was Patek’s first concerted (and successful) effort to provide a watch that was truly water, humidity and particle resistant.
Original untouched co-signed CASA WELSCH SA LIMA silver dial with radial sunburst brush finish and applied golden baton markers and hands. Subsidiary seconds dial. Date window at 3 o’clock is framed in gold. The very edge of the dial has a subtle gold embossed minutes scale.
Automatic winding Patek Philippe Caliber 27-460M, which is considered by many collectors to be Patek’s best automatic movement ever. Movement features 37 jewels, massive 18k gold decorated winding rotor, is adjusted in 5 positions and to heat, cold and isochronism, and double stamped with the Geneva Seal.
Watch is in mint condition on black Patek alligator strap.
