Description
Exceptionally preserved water-resistant Patek Philippe ref. 3514, made in 1968 and sold in 1969. The ref. 3514 was in production from 1964 through the early 1970s. Made with the innovative mono-date caliber 27-460M, the reference showcases traditional watchmaking just before the dawn of the quartz revolution. The dial was made by Stern Frères and the case was made by Gerlach for Patek Philippe. This example is notable for its crisp unpolished case and unusual roman numeral dial variant. Elegant and practical, this is the perfect watch for the collector just starting out in the vintage Patek Philippe world.
