Another Vintage.... the 3444
Another recent addition,thanks to Arthur,who posted images earlier.
One of the last Pateks to be retailed by Cartier when this relationship came to an end in 1961.
The markers are particularly unusual and rare.
Thanks for looking.
Roni
very unique pieces...first time i have seen this.
love the hour markers especially.
any picture of the movement?
best,

12-600AT?
Beautiful watch,
I'd guess the movement to be PP's first auto, the 12-600AT because of that lovely 'double P' crown there.Regards,

More than 50 years went...
More than 50 years went, but the beauty of Ref. 3444 still absolutely shines. Thank you, Roni, for sharing these pictures!
Just a couple of questions and thoughts:
- I wasn't able to define the dial color: could you say more about it?
- How about its width and thickness?
- I always appreciate that kind of crown in vintage PPs; I wonder if our dear Manufacture will re-use it in the near future.
- Not only I've appreciated the unusual and rare markers: I love those two-steps-lugs, too.
- Both Patek Philippe and Cartier are excellent luxury brands, with strong personalities and a long history; if I was Mr. Stern, I really would like to merge PP with Cartier.
Ciao,
Elio
