Patek Philippe

As you can see below, the dial of this yellow gold Calatrava ref. 3423 is described by Patek Philippe as: “4/4 applied yellow gold hours markers, painted diagonal hour markers” The case measures 34 x 43 mm. Quite nice , isn't it? Best, Emmanuel credit: wa...

When the extract says “sold without strap” (and I’ve seen many like this from Patek), did it also originally not come with a buckle as well? Was the buyer expected to buy a buckle separately from PP, or did it come with one, but this was simply not stated... 

So, unfortunately, I don't have the answer... Best, Emmanuel
