Patek Philippe ref 3468/4 in 18k yellow gold with integrated 18k gold mesh band, circa 1970. Time only. Handwound. 33mm. Really fantastic condition; I doubt that there could be many of these around that are any nicer. TZ 95%, execept that the watch could benefit from a service. Watch has never been polished.
Movement is the 23-300. From an online discussion forum: "Carlos Perez wrote a comparative essay on some of the famous handwinds and to quote, 'The 23-300 is one of very few movements manufactured by Patek Philippe to use both an overcoil hairspring and a free-sprung Gyromax balance, and of which it was the only 10 ligne handwind. It represents both the technical and artistic peak of Patek's 10 ligne handwinds, as the Yosuke Sekiguchi Primevère was the peak of their 12 lignes.'"
Geneva sealed, unlike current Pateks. Design, decoration, anglage, and general finish all beautiful, unlike current entry level Pateks, which are not hand finished.
Includes original inner and outer box, no original papers. $7000. Watch is 62g. The gold alone in this watch is worth more than $3000. Price includes shipping. Item can ship from Canada or USA. Accept bank wire or PayPal plus 1/2 PayPal fees.
