Patek Philippe 3445/100
Hi guys
Bit of advice. Tempted by a late 3445 Patek Philippe watch (yellow gold) - seller wants around $14,000 for it - it's in mint condition, with PP strap / buckle, extract from archives - NO BOX though. Has the nice sapphire glass too.
The movement was made in 1973, encased in 1984 and sold in 1985.
However, I didn't think the 3445 was made past 1970 ish? Is this a 're-issue' or just a late selling PP 3445?
Any advice greatly received!
Regards
Frank
