There is not much more one could expect from a classic, elegant and timeless watch than what can be found in this reference 3433. The thin stepped case with a dash of “disco volante” playfulness perfectly fits the wrist and will allow one’s shirt to smoothly slip over it. With a large 36mm diameter, a silver colored sunburst dial adorned with thin gold baton indexes, this wristwatch embodies the ultimate gentleman’s elegance.
In 1960, the brand launched the reference 3433 with a screw-down case and an automatic movement to replace the previous Calatrava reference 2551. In production for approximately 6 years, only 30 examples are known in yellow gold. Part of the early production, the present watch features a “PP” crown whereas the later examples bear the Calatrava cross. In superb condition as shown by the excellent proportions of the lugs, this watch is a great addition to any gentleman’s collection.
