With Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming production of the watch in 1967 and its subsequent sale on 1 September 1967.

Patek Philippe's reference 3445 must be considered one of the most timeless designs ever created for any wristwatch. It is free of any decoration and was never intended to be fashionable. On the contrary, with a production spanning two full decades it has proven to withstand trends and the ever changing moods of the consumers.
