Patek Philippe

One of the variants of the Patek Philippe ref. 3574 from the 1970s features an embossed Calatrava Cross tapestrie dial . The steel cushion case measures 35 x 8 x 40 mm. It is believed that only a few hundred examples of the ref. 3574 were made and, among ...  

I'd imagine that it's less contrasted in everyday lighting than in these images.... Thank you for the pictorial, I don't think I've seen that one before! Cheers, Filip

But your ranking makes a lot of sense! Best, Emmanuel

I meant that your ranking made a lot of sense!

pS There is an automatic model ref 3579 which is just as interesting J

this one: www.watchprosite.com I thought they were all manual: is there an automatic variant? Best, Emmanuel

Reminds me a lot of paper tablecloth used on many tables around the world during big outside parties!

In this particular case I really like the embossed dial - and the case thinness is lovely, too 👌🏻👍🏻

But I fully agree concerning the thinness! Best, Emmanuel

That said, photos can be misleading and the watch may be better in reality. Best, Emmanuel

quite lovely ! The blue dial with hands & hour markers that have guillouche and hobnail is also unusually well done ! Although the dial is circular but with the shaped lug, does this piece fit your criteria of a "shaped" watch ?

The embossed dial intrigues me: it would be nice to see it in person. Best, Emmanuel

Thank you for sharing ‼️ Best & Cheers ! 😊

Another timepiece which would be very interesting to see in real life. Cheers, Emmanuel
