Vintage Ref. 3433 questions
I have been looking yg ref. 3433 as a starting point for Vintage PP collection. (I am a consumer of modern, complicated Patek references).
I am attracted to this because of its classic 50s Patek style but mostly because of its 35MM case which seems to be rare. Most case sizes appear to be 30MM to 34MM in the 40s, 50s and 60s calatravas (if I may use this term to describe non complicated, round cased men's Patek wrist watches).
Any advise or comments regarding this reference or for my quest to start a collection of vintage PPs would be kindly appreciated.
Thank you,
Fathom V
