Patek Philippe

Imagine the opening scene of a movie set . The location is the Hadron Collider in Switzerland. The actor is Benedict Cumberbatch playing the role of a scientist. He is wearing a crisp white lab coat. He walks into the lab and raises his arm and pulls back...  

Just a few weeks ago I had the opportunity to see a nearly as new example of this reference.... Really awesome and adorable!

Cheers Henrik ...  

Anyway, as you mentioned it rightly, the 3417 is one of these legendary amagnetic watches you quoted. A must have. And yours is wonderful. Great review, my friend. Best, and thanks. Nicolas

my reference is M Stangas book. He uses oersted rather than gauss but the conversion is 1:1 J

I need one of those bracelets.

I hope Patek will one day re-introduce the Antimagnetic Calatrava with a modern manual winding movement and SS case. That would be something. Best, Kari

Interesting to learn there were a radium dial for a Antimagnetic watch!? We saw many paradoxes through time... Shield from magnetism but radioactive...! Best Blomman

Your photos are also fantastic and the post is very informative ! Cheers, Gordon

This is a reference that has to be seen in the flesh to understand the passion J

Gotta love the 3417.... Can you please post a link to the radium dial version that you mentioned Andrew Shear posted on Instagram. I cant seen to find it ... having said that I know little about Instagram.

Andrew probaby sold it and deleted the picture...that will be why I cant find it. I believe Mstanga has a picture of my one in his review...

......no issues about posting any watch really, but when its a link to a dealer and a watch that is for sale, it edges across the line. Would love to see a picture of yours.... greetings from mine.... ...

Are you sure Julian..???? New York State recognizes 31 genders and the safe schools program says the are 72.... Im confused....!!!!

I leave the gender issues alone J

… I am researching a watch with exactly the same dial (it’s a family watch), but can’t find any information. Yours is the only reference pic I saw, anything you can share at all about this kind of dial would be really appreciated! Was it a rare dial? Most... 

I looked it up here but didn’t find where to buy or if there is an ecopy somewhere. Any pointers?

You may want to reach out to John Nagayama ONbeHALF co., Ltd. Who seems to have multiple.

…But here it is. Been in the family always, now we want to restore it, and to know more about it. ...
