More Information
Specialist note
The reference 3415 was made beginning in 1958 and discontinued in 1960. This short production run makes for one of the rarest of all Patek Philippe automatic watches. In fact, approximately 300 were made in yellow gold and only 40 in this reference were made in pink gold. Made with the celebrated caliber 12-600, the same movement used on the reference 2526, the reference also shares the coveted double PP crown.
The movement and case numbers indicate that this may be possibly be the first or second example of a 3415R ever produced.
With dials by Stern Frères, and a case by A. Wenger (Geneva Key mark 1) this watch also features a screw-down two piece water-resistant type case.
The condition of this watch is impressive as the case appears to be untouched by time. The sharp lugs, the original crown, and the perfect dial all add up to make a watch that belongs on the wrist of someone who can treasure this beauty for now and for future generations.
