商品説明
1964 Patek Philippe Calatrava vintage watch.
This model combines a refined design with practicality and is equipped with the automatic "Cal. 27-460M."
The Ref. 3445 features a rare 18K white gold case with a screw-back design.
Because gold cases are softer than stainless steel, many specimens have lost their sharp edges due to polishing, but this is a rare piece that retains its original lines.
The crown, marked with the Calatrava cross, has a diameter of 4.7mm, making it very easy to wind manually.
This watch is powered by the "Cal. 27-460M," which adds a date function to the iconic automatic "Cal. 27-460."
It features a solid gold rotor with high winding efficiency.
Although the movement is usually hidden, the rotor is beautifully finished with a Calatrava engraving.
Do not miss the opportunity to own one of the greatest automatic movements in Patek Philippe history.
How to operate the Caliber 27-460M
Pulling out the crown: Insert a fingernail between the case and the crown and use it as a lever.
When pulling the crown, it is easiest to insert your fingernail between the crown and the case from both the front and back.
Please remove the watch from your wrist before operating it.
Operating it gently reduces strain on the crown and prevents it from being pulled out completely.
Manual winding: With the crown in the normal position, rotate it clockwise.
Setting the time: Pull the crown out and rotate it clockwise.
The second hand does not stop.
Quick-set date: Pull the crown to the first position and toggle between "8:20 PM and 12:00 AM."
1) Turn the hands until midnight (24:00).
If the date changes, it is midnight. If it does not, it is noon.
2) Once you have confirmed the date has changed, turn the hands back to 8:20 PM.
This prepares the watch to advance to the next day's date.
3) Advance the hands to midnight.
Confirm that the date has advanced by one day.
You can quick-set the date one day at a time by repeating steps 1) to 3).
Please operate slowly to minimize stress on the movement.
