Time Warp Watch - Recently had the good fortune to acquire a Never worn 3445G
While the 3445 is not the rarest reference, it is a a lot less common in white gold. Often thought of as the quintessential 60s/70s screw back, self winding Patek, this image is exactly how it looked when it left the factory (other than patinae on the perimeter of the date window). Thought the Forum members might enjoy seeing a truly NOS 50 ish year old Patek. Best, patekova
Thanks Kari! Unfortunately just the watch, but original strap and buckle. [nt]

Congratulations for this new addition
Is there a little problem with the date window? Did the little square part peel the date window away?

Thanks. After looking at other images seems to just be partinae, but will check it out. [nt]

Thanks for sharing, the watch is gorgeous.
But regarding the patina at the white gold rim around the date window, is there any particular reason why the patina only occur at that area?
Best,
Henry
Thanks Henry. Don't have an answer (yet) on that but am checking with Patek. [nt]

That's a beautiful piece
The condition is very rare indeed, especially for the dial and case.
About the window, I'm not an expert but this is something that I saw on vintage yellow or rose gold cases sometimes. Between the lugs, parts that are not naturally touched often, there is this "purple" patina, sometimes blue. I imagine that a slight polishing (or even a simple cleaning with the right product) could remove it.
Thanks for sharing Patekova and we'll be happy to see your pictures in the future!
I don't know if you intend to wear it but I wish you to enjoy it 
Best, Mark
Thanks Mark for the very kind things you say! Yes, patina can appear in odd places on vintage watches.
My initial feeling is to leave it alone as the watch is totally virgin. I do not intend to wear the watch, unfortunately. I feel almost an ethical obligation (perhaps I am being slightly ridiculous) to leave it undisturbed as an historical piece in a time warp. Best, patekova
Hi Patek, another great catch ! Congrats as you are on a roll in capturing...
...rare pieces in the 3xxx series !
IMO you are the PuristS Indiana Jones !
Cheers,
Gordon
Thanks Gordon! You are too funny, but I will gladly accept what I consider to be a great (even if undeserved) compliment!
My experience is that it is really, really hard to find rare vintage Pateks, especially mint or NOS. One can search and search and wind up with nothing for long stretches and then 2 come at once. Go figure. But again, many thanks! Best, patekova
Wow, a superb specimen you have. I specially like the shape of the lugs. [nt]

Yes, this reference is all about the lugs, When unpolished the facets should be razor sharp. When polished, for me the thrill is definitely gone. [nt]

Good find. And its self winding all the more.
Just have it service in a authorize service center like here in manila its Watch Check. In Singapore its Geneva Mastertime. So its tip top shape. I mean for so long not used it shoud be serviced. My opinion.
Congrats.
Geross.
