The quintessence of elegance. Nothing to add, nothing to remove. You just have to put it on your wrist and enjoy. Now it's back... enjoy 😉

Ahhh ! The 3417 ! The Calatrava...
... There are so mythic references like 2526 or 570 and 3417 belongs to the same category.
Very nice specimen, big congrats !
I know someone who will not fail to come here soon and shout his love for this one too... Nico, where are you ? 😉
Wear it in the best of health,
Mike

Could you show the Extract papers?
It is such an early watch, would be great to see the Extract papers. Maybe cover the serial number. Would be really interesting to see.
the french archives look a little different to the english.....
.......your watch comes from the very earliest issued....its reference number and date have it as one of the earliest.
WONDERFUL!!
Glad to hear you have your baby back! I have two vintage pieces in Geneva currently. I just got the call from HSWA yesterday that my Ref 570 will be here Monday. I will post a few pics when it arrives.
Congrats, wear it in good health!

Restoration
Many of the Pateks I buy have problem dials. Patina is one thing, however damaged dials are another. I do have Patek restore damaged dials. The watches I have restored, are worth more than the cost of restoration and acquisition, and they look absolutely fantastic!!
You must be veryhappy!
That's a very iconic Calatrava reference and it is nice to take care of it.
Enjoy your watch now
Best, Mark
