The present example evokes mid-century nonchalance with its sunburst silver dial and understated beaded minute track. The 35mm case is timelessly modern in diameter, and wonderfully crisp given its nearly 60 years of age. But housed within that sleek steel case is the revered cal. 27-460 automatic movement in gleaming 18k yellow gold rotor. Connoisseurs consider it to be one of the finest automatic movements ever created before it was discontinued in the 1980s.
Accompanied by its Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives, this rare ref. 3466 is most certainly a keeper in any collection. Its well-preserved combo of sporty steel and timeless elegance makes it the perfect vintage choice for the modern gentleman looking to add a touch of understated charm on his wrist.
