Now, that is a superb addition, Joe.
I love this one a lot. A vintage Calatrava, in stainless Steel, is a GREAT classic. Examplar in understatement, discretion and class, but also sweet and sensual.
I cannot imagine the Duo you would have of you get a 3417!
Thank you so much for this well written and very interesting article, my friend. And, of course, Congratulations! That is a top class addition.
Bravo for your impeccable taste.

Patek Reference 3483 - completing a theme
Building a collection is hard. It takes thought and a great deal of patience. I have spent a lot of time thinking about my collection of vintage Rolex. More recently I have been spending time thinking about my Patek collection. I teased recently about whi...
Nice one Baron !!
Lots of thinking and research definitely went into building your collection with the right mix. Your post shows the joy that you had in the process. Congrats !! Gordon
Thanks Gordon...
......yes, i did narrow the field down quite a bit....process of elimination is a good way to work sometimes! Many thanks
Great upgraded Patek collection Baron ;-))
Thanks for sharing here your Passion and your Choices. Enjoy wearing all of them. Best regards, Patrickh
Thanks Parickh
Yep....i see it as a big upgrade....now i can go vintage Patek and that means a lot to me!
Baron, I am very happy for you ...
that you found such a nice piece and even better/more interesting one in steel. Congrats! It is a very classical beauty, which doesn´t show it´s qualities to everybody - at least not on the first view. The inner values are even better. The fact that you e...
Hey Oliver....
.....i have just taken some scans of the movement. I will post them tomorrow as I have a report to finish off for work.... but scans are taken...will just need to edit them on photoshop first. Best Joe
Movement
. ...playing with the scans proved a lot more fun than finishing my work report! Double stamped...i like that! ...
What a great addition to your already spectacular collection
Great vintage choice- I have a very soft spot for these vintage pieces. Stainless steel and and high quality 27 SC movement- what more could you want. Congratulations again Julian
Just I've one thing to say……
That's one beautiful rare piece ,and it looks sublime on your wrist…… Sometimes I guess skinny works ;) Ps I was not joking, I am borrowing it for one year… lol:)

beautiful i myself is eyeing a vintage piece. congratulations! best geross
An absolutely beautiful watch...
I love the lugs, which remind me a bit of the 3448. These can be tricky with polishing, but looks like someone took very nice care of your watch. And I assume the icing on the cake is the original box -- very cool! Jeff.
Thanks Jeff...
.....yes, original box and outer box is just a pure bonus! Some Pateks are very flamboyant and extrovert. I think, historically, the heritage is very much the opposite. I think this one captures that under-stated mode really well... yet the pearl nature o...

The things is Nicolas....
.....i remember when i was about 12-13, in the playground....lots of boys and girls all running around. If i happened to spot a particularly pretty girl, I would just announce to my friends that i had seen her first and that therefore she was "mine" and t...
Excellent. I love the way you put it. ;)
Ok, in this case, we'll try to get two. ;) Best, Joe. Nicolas
Mike...many thanks
It is certainly true that this one has given me a lot of joy. Many thanks for your comments Joe
Did not see this one comming...! :)
What a great addition to your already fantastic PP collection! Huge congrats, dear Baron! :) Really love these classic Patek in SS. Did not see this one comming... Thought you were aming for the 3417. Well, since you are a true gentleman, you hold off... ...
Well....
...i must say that the 3417 and 3483 share some similarities as well as some differences too. Having saids that, I must say that having the 3483 on my wrist these past two days has been more exhilarating than anything i can remember since the 5070 or 1665...
PP 3483
Hi I love the 3483 and am looking for one...if you don't mind me asking what should I expect to pay for one in mint condition as the price range seems quite variable? Thanks so much, Roni
What is very nice...
... about this watch is the Patek Philippe logo in Emaille technique. Many other references in steel had a printed logo (to save production cost, steel was lower priced back then). Very nice watch. I love how the winding of the 27SC feels. A very nice mec...
