PATEK PHILIPPE Ref. 3514
Throughout Patek Philippe’s wristwatch history, arguably its most iconic model is the classic Calatrava design. Reference 3514 was in production from 1964 to 1971, and the case was made available in all precious metals. The present watch in white gold is fresh to the market and is in superb condition.
What makes this watch particularly rare is the combination of the dial and hour markers. Typically, the dials of the reference 3514 are fitted with baton hour markers, whereas this rare gem is presented with black Breguet hour numerals on a stunning silvered, sunburst dial. Made in 1967, it is one of only three known with Breguet numerals. Not only is this an exceedingly rare example of the reference 3514, importantly, its case remains in remarkable condition with extremely sharp lines and crisp definition. This watch would be the perfect addition to any collection, as it provides the vintage watch aficionado both wearability and exclusivity.
