Property from the Original Owner

Specialist note

Patek Philippe launched the reference 3466 in 1962 and it was in production until circa 1970. This model was only offered in stainless steel with a screw back case. It is estimated that under 1000 examples of this model were produced. Stainless steel Patek Philippe watches are highly collectable and this presents a good opportunity to own a fresh to market example in seemingly unpolished condition with its original Certificate of Origin with envelope and presentation box.
