Lovely piece, so does a full service take 80 weeks every time?

Regards

Ivan

Hi Ivan,

This piece is 37 years old. It was classify as a vintage. It will go to the restroration team and if there is a need to change part, it will need to re-build by hand. That is what they told me. So to answer your question it is not neccessary to be 80 weeks for the full services.

I imagine how happy you may be after receiving your beautiful PP after such a long time!

I love this perpetual calendar, the way the informations of the calendar are displayed.

Classic, Elegant ...Timeless.

Enjoy!

Best,

Nicolas

can we see more ? I can't imagine that a person who owns such a piece has only 1 watch

If i told you that i got only one 3448, do you gonna believe me

The 3448 is one of my favourite Patek and a quintessential Patek perpetual calendar (along with 3940) in my opinion. Wear it in the best of health!

A beautiful piece, wow!

Thank you for showing us these wonderful pictures of this wonderful wristwatch.

I especially like perpetual calendars (they are one of the most useful complications), and if I ever got stranded on an island by myself, I would want a perpetual calendar on my wrist.

If it was with this watch, I just might take a four year hiatus, and intentionally get stranded on an island.

Thanks for showing this wonderful watch!

Thanks for the photo review.

That Patek Philippe has not only the slowest moving part but possibly the most patient owner....80 WEEKS of service restoration?!    Yikes  --  some of my watches don't spend that long on the wrist

No wonder that you have to keep Patek Philippes for the NEXT generation.

Seriously, it is a nice watch and thanks for sharing; many of us would never see one in real life.

A lovely classic thats elegant.

On my recent visit to Geneva I requested to be shown the vintage restoration department and was fortunate to be shown it.I met the main person heading the department and after he explained the process one can understand and appreciate the longevity of the process...at any given time I have a watch or two with them and could never fathom why it took so long.

Incidentally I understand the vintage restoration department may be included as part of the regular tour soon...

Enjoy your great watch!
