附帶後補資料庫精粹

Introduced to the market from 1962 to 1970, the reference 3466 was exclusively produced in stainless steel and embodies what a vintage Patek Philippe dress watch should be. An elegant timepiece with time only function, the dial is simplistic for its "pearled" engraved outer minute scale and baton hour marker, complimenting with baton hands as well. Collectors have identified the earlier version of the watch would have the hard enamel Patek Philippe text, while the later ones such as the present example would have a printed signature, as well as subtle differences on the shape of the lugs. To the best of our knowledge, not more than 1000 examples were produced for the reference 3466, making this highly collectible piece a rare opportunity to come by.
