Only ref. 3450 has the leap year installed.
So in order to set a patek 3448 correctly, the best bet would be to visit PP svc center for the adjustment.
I do recall a prototype 3448 with a leap leap display on the moonphase, but never was put into production.
You will find this on Branberry book.
Parts of my head have a weakness for the piece on the left, but ...
my heart is on the right. One is "obviously" beautyfull and veeeery classic, the other one shows some "complicated spice" and some oddity. The latter is not for beginners ... Just my 2-cent :-) Best, Oliver
Incredible duo...
What a dream to possess this duo! I am rarely experiencing moments of envy but these two are simply too good. I am with Oliver completely on this one, the one on the left on its own is amazing but really pales next to this masterpiece of elegance and beau...
Beautiful pair of pateks
Both are very nice. Wear them often in good health. But the one on the left seems more pleasing , my opinion. Cheers geross
That 3448G is absolutely gorgeous. The very best of Patek and the
5050 is also a beauty.
2 watches
think the 3448G is beautiful out the the two watches shown, nothing any good in the perpetual calendar since 3450 was discontinued in 1985. With the Perpetual Calendar Chronographs after the 1518, 2499 I would say 5020 are beautiful. Any of the modern wat...
I love the 5050 but it seems the way it is trading these days
collectors are not that into it anymore.
Both are great , especially the 3448...but a question on...
...where is the leap year indicator in the 3448?? Cheers, Gordon

AN IMPORTANT AND UNIQUE YELLOW GOLD AUTOMATIC PERPETUAL CALENDAR WRISTWATCH WITH LEAP YEAR INDICATION INSTEAD OF MOON-PHASES 1970-1975 REF 3448J MVT 1119137 CASE 325493
Just to be a little critical..
The 3448 is perfect in my opinion! Well Balanced dial, elegant and without flaw. The case proportion is nice and the thickness of the watch adds a substance and chunkiness that works for me. The 5050p is also an amazing piece but to be critical I believe ...
That's for sure, damned !
Anyone of the 4 for me will do ;-) Never saw 4 of them together ! I am very impressed. 4 very nice variations of a gorgeous watch. Best, Mike
3448 my favourite PP ;-)
Not that 5050 is not great, but 3448 has always been my Grail watch. Huge congrats, it is even niver in WG ;-) Best, Mike
