Fantastic!

 

I passed on this reference when I had an opportunity to pick up a near mint example with the same movement. It's a beauty!

Patek Philippe Reference 3417 - some more twists in the history

 
By: Baron - Mr Red : November 23rd, 2017-01:33
There are not many references within Patek Philippe history that came in just stainless steel. Of course, there are several where steel was an option but very few where steel was the only option. One specific example of this genre is the reference 3417. I...  

You would know better in terms of steel Pateks. Your a seasoned collector my friend.

the information came from within Patek reference books......so "probably" accurate.

Thank you, Sir....

Perfect partner to the 3448J for your vintage PP pair. Then 5650G and 5370P for your modern PP pair. Tool/dress pair in modern and vintage. All different metals. All different complications. Amazing quartet! Certainly a dream setup! Enjoy!

i think that each of the amagnetics has its own charm....

......the geophysic, the 2777, the 666..... but I am not sure that i see any that I prefer more than the 3417. The Geophysic would be my next choice as that is very special too.

Lovely watch Joe :-)

and it is always good to know the history of the watch, thank you. I too am partial towards steel Pateks not just due their relative rarity but they are so light and a joy to wear

Beautiful watch!

Yes, the mid-late 1950s was the golden era for Amagnetic watches! Best Blomman

If you insist....

This is absolutely stunning and rare.

You have absolutely too many of the references I would love to own. Weird... Best, Kari
