Lot Essay

Patek Philippe launched the reference 3466 in 1962 and it was in production until circa 1970. This model was only offered in stainless steel with a screw back case. It is estimated that under 1000 examples of this model were produced. Stainless steel Patek Philippe watches are highly collectable and this presents a good opportunity to own a fresh to market example in seemingly unpolished condition with its original Certificate of Origin with envelope and presentation box.
