The Patek Philippe reference 3445 is a landmark model in the brand’s history, celebrated as the first automatic Calatrava to feature a date complication displayed through a discreet aperture at three o’clock. Introduced in the 1960s, this reference combines the elegance and restraint of the classic Calatrava design with the convenience of a self-winding movement, exemplifying Patek Philippe’s ability to marry form and function seamlessly.
Crafted in yellow gold, the 3445 features a clean, minimalist dial with applied indices and a slim, polished bezel, reinforcing the Calatrava’s reputation for timeless sophistication. Its automatic movement is finished to the highest standards, reflecting the maison’s commitment to mechanical excellence.
