About the Item

NAMED ONE OF WATCHPRO MAGAZINE’S “HOT 100” - THE TOP 100 INFLUENCERS OF THE U.S. WATCH INDUSTRY. HOW CAN WE SERVE YOU? We’re new to offering our carefully curated collection on 1stDibs, but we have sold over 10,000 fine watches and exceptionally served thousands of customers with a 5.0 star rating on other online sites. 1970 PATEK PHILIPPE Vintage Mens Handwound Ref. 3468 18K Gold Dress Watch Very Fine & Rare - Presents Beautifully - 1 Year Warranty We are pleased to offer this very fine and classic Patek Philippe mens handwound dress watch. With its vintage styled silver face and timeless case with downward turned lugs, it showcases an elegant vintage Patek style. We love its dial - the gold painted markers are inset into the dial giving it a look that has distinction. Powering the watch is its illustrious Patek Philippe 10 ligne movement, stamped in two places with the prestigious Poinçon de Genève, unquestionably among the finest hand-winding movements ever built. It presents beautifully on the wrist. Its thin Patek Philippe case is in excellent condition with light signs of wear and only light signs of previous polishing. It has not been freshly polished. It still has nice lines and retains both of its hallmarks. Its dial was restored by one of the leading dial experts in North America. One of our Master Watchmakers has fully serviced the watch. Photos of the inside available upon request. It is running extraordinarily accurately, keeping time better than new Pateks in our testing recording position. For the finishing touch we have equipped it with a new crocodile strap making it ready for immediate enjoyment. Included with the purchase is a one-year international warranty on the movement and its function and a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity. Also accompanying the watch is an authentication card from Stoll & Co. / eBay's authenticators / ($80 value).
