Catalogue Note
Reference 3445 is one of the most popular automatic wristwatches made by Patek and incorporates the legendary calibre 27-460. Created by Patek Philippe, the calibre 27-460 is known for its efficiency and exceptional quality. To ensure that the watch is continually and smoothly wound when worn, a gold rotor is incorporated. The reason gold is chosen for the rotor is due to its gravity which is almost twice that of lead. For a note on reference 3445, see lot 171.
