Specialist note

With Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming manufacture of the present watch in 1966 and its subsequent sale on 6 April 1966.

This watch is believed to be one of only eight examples of a reference 3429 in yellow gold and retailed by Gübelin known to exist to date. It has never been offered in public before and is furthermore preserved in very good overall condition.

Reference 3429 replaced reference 3415 and was in production from 1960 to 1969, the majority cased in yellow gold, few examples in white gold and only one known so far in platinum.
