itt - do you have any more info on the radium dial 3417?….
… 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 see of the 3417 pictures don’t have the number 3 and 9… and I am new to this vintage watch world.

Ref 3417 review
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...
Beautiful
Just a few weeks ago I had the opportunity to see a nearly as new example of this reference.... Really awesome and adorable!
Are you sure about the 1200 gauss? I thought the Patek was more around 700 / 800 Gauss.
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
Thanks Nicolas
my reference is M Stangas book. He uses oersted rather than gauss but the conversion is 1:1 J
Thank you for a nice review.
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
Thank you for a great review!
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
Hi watch-guy , Thank you for a great review !

This is a reference that has to be seen in the flesh to understand the passion J
Radium dial
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.
Rules....!!!
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...
yep.....
......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.... ...
