Patek Philippe Calatrava Blue Dial in 18k White Gold with Original Guarantee Paper Ref. 3445/6
The Inside Story
For occasions that call for the epitome of elegance and craftsmanship, the Patek Philippe Calatrava stands above the rest. Introduced in 1932, the Calatrava set the standard for dress watches, named after the Calatrava cross—a symbol of the Spanish Military Order and Patek Philippe's emblem.
The ref. 3445 breaks away from the traditional time-only manual-wound design, featuring automatic winding and a waterproof screw-down case. Crafted in 18k white gold, this rare gem boasts a striking blue soleil dial with white printed text, small seconds at 6 o'clock, and the Calatrava's signature “dot-dot” minute/hour track.
Fitted with a hand-finished mesh bracelet, the watch comfortably fits wrists up to 18 cm. The automatic movement, Caliber 27.460, has been fully regulated by our watchmaker. Adding to its rarity, this piece comes with its original guarantee of origin, confirming its sale in Geneva in 1974.
This is a rare opportunity to own a unique ref. 3445. Contact us to discuss this beautiful Calatrava today!

We will always describe the watch as fully as we can in our sales texts. Our zoomable images are of the highest possible quality and form an important part of each watch’s description. We will never hide or cover up any element of any watch we sell.
Key to our unparalleled service is Fedex Priority shipping, fully insured. Once you have received your watch, we encourage you to inspect it thoroughly. If you are not 100% satisfied, please let us know. We offer a 14 days return policy. Simply return the watch to get a full refund of the original purchase price.
Our Warranty
We offer a one-year warranty on the mechanical function of the watch, starting from the day of purchase. We do not guarantee the waterproof nature of any (vintage) watch, unless expressly made in writing.
