You're right it's a Stainless Steel case, it is about 50 years old. It is about 35,5 mm not including crown.
I'm happy that You like it This message has been edited by mstanga on 2010-08-25 12:07:22

... like to have a modern variant, say 38-39 mm. I like how the dial is formed. This is subtly a very very nice design. Perhaps Patek will announce something like this at Basel 2011. I can always hope. Ciao.

could not have the same vintage taste and for sure not a movement like old 27AM400 (IMHO)

Enjoy,

RWK.

I am glad to see these photos of this remarkable PP.  She continues to look in such fantastic condition for a 50-year old.  I hope I look that good when I turn 50.  Not likely, I'm afraid.

I am surprised we do not hear more of the 3417 on teh forum, but the chatter most often seems to be about the recent releases, of course.  You are my 3417 Expert!

Best,

respo

Thank You, respo,
It would be nice if you will try to translate my review into English.

Marco

Marco,  I am afraid my command of Italian is virtually non-existent, so I cannot do the translation. I struggle to translate bits and pieces for myself, but I could not do justice in a translation for anyone else.  There are some photosgraphs of English text and many photos that would be of broader interest, however...  That is your decision of course. 

respo

I will try to ask to a italian friend of mine that works in England since a lot of time
Ciao
Marco

If I am not mistaken, very few were made.....

Enjoy it....

Cheers

very few were maden, the first ones housed a 12-400 and the others housed the incredible beatiful 27AM400. Not all dial was signed with "amagnetic"

And in a beautiful condition.
How long have you owned her?

Oh dont start me on the virtues of the Amagnetic!!!!

Hurry up with that translation Marco!!!!!

Eye candy for my afternoon.  Thanks.

Yes too share the same views on the dial and the ref.I prefer the variant with Anti Magnetic on the dial though.It was the first non-design (on which my collection is based) centric vintage Patek that attracted me,

Another one in the same vein is the rarer s the 2570/1 anti magnetic with the 12-400 movement from 1958 to 1960 then 27-400 movement from 1960.It came with markers and without markers on the dial and in YG only.I was fortunate to see one last month and it had a brushed and polished gold service and was very beautiful and a rare piece.

I have a 3417 SS too...it came back from a service from Patek 2 weeks ago but with rain outside an hour after the watch was collected condensation was forming on the crystal so it went back to Patek the next day!Another long wait....

Would give my left arm for Patek to make a contemporary version...of course, then I'd have to wear the watch on my right!  Beautiful watch...thanks for posting pics.

has it been restored recently?

I saw one for sale, recently, and I was thinking about getting it, as it would be a nice complement for my " Amagnetic collection "...

I only have the Geophysic for the moment, but I'm hunting the Omega CK 2914 ( Railmaster ), the IWC Ref 666 ( I cant pass on this one ...  ), and the Milgauss 1019.

This PP is one I didn't even know since I saw it for sale, and I had to do my homework before deciding to go for it.

So, if it is the one you got, it shows that we obviously hunt on the same grounds, my friend.

Bac to the watch, it is a superb specimen ,understarted, elegant, which reminds me a bit the JLC Geophysic ( except the small second ).

Superb!

Best,

Nicolas
