Specialist note

With Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present watch in 1967 and its subsequent sale on 27 May 1968.
To the best of our knowledge, this watch has never been offered at auction before. Preserved in in very good original overall condition it is believed to be one of only around ten examples of this reference to appear in public to date.

Reference 3483 was launched in 1963 and remained in production only during two years. It was made in a very small series only, exclusively in stainless steel.
