Manufactured in the early 1960s, this Patek Philippe Ref.3429 is equipped with the renowned Cal.27-460 movement. It is a highly rare 18k rose gold model, featuring water-resistant automatic functionality. Considered the successor to the rare Ref.3415 (equipped with Cal.12-600AT), the Ref.3429 is a coveted timepiece. Approximately 1000 units were produced, with the majority in yellow gold. White gold examples are exceptionally scarce, with only about 15 units confirmed in the market, and rose gold is even rarer, with around 10 units—a super rare item.
The watch boasts a screw-back waterproof case with a PP crown, and its enamel-coated intricate dial showcases the vintage charm of Patek Philippe. The beautiful rose gold case adds a touch of elegance to this highly valuable and rare piece. It comes with a later genuine Patek Philippe buckle. Currently, it is in the process of being archived.
