I bought this watch 8 months ago.
Ok..... bought this early series 3417 last March and sent it for authentication and full service before sharing it with you here,Now I can enjoy it after 8 months away.It was hard to acquire it after along search then giving it right away for service !!!
Here are some photos even before going home,Very excited and cant describe enough the amount of pleasure I am getting from this reference on the wrist.It has definitely flare that I can’t explain.

I wanted that reference for long
It’s hard to find a clean example.And it took me a lot of research.At the end this particular one came to me after I almost lost hope.So I had to pull the trigger.I have to agree with you this one is a grail,At least to me in the Calatrava family.
Thanks
It’s an acquisition that took years from the day I decided I am ready to buy one,Till I wore the watch.
Almost 2 years of searching and 8 months in Patek Geneva for service (They were supposed to be 10).

All worth it at the end of the day!!
Well done for your perseverance and self discipline!!
HUGE CONGRATS my dear friend ! This is an exceptional specimen as you know
I am so happy for you, you have no idea. I must see it one day and we'll organize a shooting for this gracious model 
Best,
Mike
Thanks Mike
You were one of very few who knew about this watch after I bought it directly.We have to meet and chat,And you take as much photos as you want.
I took the kids for a 48 hours trip to Paris 2 weeks ago but it was too tight to call you.Kids were all over the place 😄

Yeah I enjoyed it a lot
When we met last time.Next time we will definitely meet and hopefully for more time.We have a lot of updates my friend 😉we have to catch up
This watch made me recognize something
I never did before,A watch can be perfect with no complications and as soon as you strap a perfect watch(to your taste) you will definitely know it .
Ahmed, my friend, I am sooooo happy for you! The 3417 is an amazing watch, discrete, sober but full of charm and elegance. One of the top Vintage Patek for me. BRAVO! [nt]

Thanks a lot Nico.
I always knew that you had love for this reference.And when you posted the picture of the same reference a couple of days ago,The watch was back but still not in my hands.I was surprised by the coincidence😄
Mega congrats 🎉🎉🎉

What a wonderful PP. This "A" from Amagnetic is cherry on the cake, the movement legendary! Congratulations [nt]

Indeed the way Amagentic is written
On the dial takes you back in time and gives that relaxed feeling when everything had slower pace.
Congrats, these are beautiful classics that are very hard to find, you made a great acquisition there!😍 [nt]

It’s very different than buying a modern
In so many different ways,But it’s much more rewarding when you do due diligence first.
There is definitely something about owing a vintage grail.Its my first time so I am still figuring it out
