But I guess you would expect me to say so. The purity of the dial on the 3448 is something that takes a lot of beating. I know that many differentiate between the various series within the 3448s. I have to say, I err towards viewing them all as quite equa...
condition is a big factor for me too....

......but genuinely on the 3448, I feel it is the essence of teh dial that captures my mind. I DO love the sigma touch.....my version is the series before yours and after Mike's. Genuinely, you could put all three in a black bag and i would be equally hap...

I think that the 3448 may be my favorite of the Patek Perpetuals. I would love to have one as a daily wearer! Of course I would be afraid of getting it all scuffed -up, and it would lose value. Guess I will hold out for the new 5320g. Lot less expensive!
Just saying.....

.....you could scuff that 5320 too...LoL
Yes, but there is a difference.....

Patek Philippe made fewer than 600 of the If I bought a 3448 and it got dinged-up on my wrist I would feel that I had violated an historic "trust" of some kind. I think the 5320 is going to be a very popular watch. Patek will probably make two or three t...

At Patek ? Is it used in certain metals only?The issue of scratches actually bothers me a lot,I can't wear long sleeves most of the year as I live in a hot country so I wear a short sleeve almost 9 months a year. My aquanaut has some scratches as I use mo...
Indeed.

Beautiful, beautiful watch

I don't think Patek ever came up with a better design than the 3448. Such an understated , pure design belying the triumph of that wonderful complication. I kind of wish the 3448 had an exhibition back, and I am also glad that it does not!
As usual with many Patek vintage watches, it is a pleasure

to learn about the different evolutions of series. This is something very interesting and I like learning about such old pieces, especially as it is not that easy to get this kind of information. I don't know much about the 3448 and learned quite a lot fr...
