Yes, the most wonderful example I’ve seen!
Really fabulous, as you say.
Best, Emmanuel
Did you say “antimagnetic”?
Echoing my post on Rexhep Rexhepi's antimagnetic watch , here is what is perhaps the most beautiful antimagnetic watch ever created : the Patek Philippe ref. 3417 with a steel case and a radium dial which belongs to John Nagayama … Best, Emmanuel credit: ...
Simply fabulous!
Amazing that the radium didn't destroy the dial. And what style!! The whole package.
Yes, the most wonderful example I’ve seen!
Really fabulous, as you say. Best, Emmanuel
In the running...
For the most beautiful watch I have ever seen, full stop. Thanks for sharing.
I'll pray the gods for you!
Finding a 3417 might not be impossible, but one with a luminous dial is less likely. Among the 21 sold by Nagayama, only one was luminous (and Beyer signed). Check here: https://onbehalf.jp/en/item/reference/3417/ Best, Emmanuel ...
Thank you dear friend 🙏😊
I could live with the regular dial. Not a lot of them around.
Never seen one either.
And the chances of seeing a luminous one are so low. Among the 21 sold by Nagayama, only one was luminous (and Beyer signed). Check here: https://onbehalf.jp/en/item/reference/3417/ Best, Emmanuel ...
Wow! What a spectacular example! 🤩🤩
I didn’t even know about this kind of radium dial for a 3417, only the classic plain steel hands and baton indexes. We have a common friend who loves this ref too 😉
Yes we do!

Years ago I was at a friend’s home in Alexandria, Va. during a small dinner party. The occasion was a meeting of snuff box collector friends. At the table someone mentioned that…
…I “collected” watches and the gentleman on my left lifted the cuff of his jacket and flashed a PP steel Antimagnetic exactly like the one on the original post. I don’t remember what I was wearing but nothing nearly as cool as his watch. I’ll never forget...
Unforgettable indeed!
Among the 21 examples sold by Nagayama, only one was luminous (and Beyer signed). Check here: https://onbehalf.jp/en/item/reference/3417/ So, what you have been able to see this day was very, very rare! Best, Emmanuel ...
Hmmm 🤨
If I may, which most will consider heresy, I would shorten the hour indices (1,2,4,8,10,11) and reduce the subidial size.. And perhaps change the longish Arabic numeral fonts
On paper the dial seems like it would be so unbalanced
But for some reason it works for me. Some magic bauhaus design?
I can understand that,
and it's good for you, because the regular versions are a little less hard to find than the very elusive luminous ones! 😊
Indeed, not hard to understand why it is so sought after.

Thank you, dear Emmanuel 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
You have shared one of the most interesting and beautiful pieces from Patek Philippe, for me. I find this and other “Amagnetic” references really fascinating! Please, keep em coming! Best regards. René
My pleasure, René.
The 3417 is a wonderful reference and this particular luminous example is simply incredible. Among the 21 examples sold by Nagayama, only one was luminous (and Beyer signed). Check here: https://onbehalf.jp/en/item/reference/3417/ Best, Emmanuel ...
if i had the choice-the gold version 2570
the calibre 12-400 they come with 2570 showing the 12 -400 and anti magnetic cover (top) ...
I'll take the Trucchi one because the signature follows the curve of the subdial!
Thanks for sharing these wonderful variants! Best, Emmanuel
the pearl dot minute markers and the 'gold furniture'-do it for me on the dial
would prefer the calibre 27sc with the direct drive centre seconds ...
