Patek Philippe. A Fine and Rare Stainless Steel Antimagnetic Wristwatch

Reference 3417 was Patek Philippe's first anti-magnetic wristwatch produced in series and was made in stainless steel only. Launched in 1958 it was produced for two years using caliber 12'''400. As of 1960, the model was fitted with caliber 27-AM 400 until the end of production in the late 1960s. The present model was made especially for the American market, as seen by the import stamp HOX to the movement. As one of the last 3417's to ever be made, this example does not feature the Amagnetic script signature of the earlier examples. The clean lines of this example, combined with its extraordinary condition, make this example a coveted collectible for vintage Patek Philippe 'tool watch' collectors
