Patek Philippe Calatrava, Reference 3416 A white gold wristwatch, Made in 1964 Dial: silvered Calibre: cal. 23-300 mechanical, 18 jewels Movement number: 795’580 Case: 18k white gold, snap on case back Case number: 2’626’911 Closure: black unsigned alligator strap and 18k white gold Patek Philippe buckle Size: 34 mm diameter Signed: case, dial and movement Accessories: Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming the production of the present watch in 1964 and its subsequent sale on October 26th, 1964 Calatrava, a word that is now synonymous with Patek Philippe, is the name of a castle in the Castille region of Spain, and the Calatrava Cross is the emblem of the order of knights who banded together in 1157 to defend it. In 1887, Patek Philippe chose the symbol to register as a trademark, inextricably linking the two for eternity. Though the Calatrava name was not given to a model family until the 1980s, it was retrospectively applied to most vintage Patek Philippe watches that fit the same criteria: 2 or 3 hand simple dress watches with round cases. The present reference 3416 was an ultra-thin offering within the line, with tasty angular lugs and classic, minimal dial.百達翡麗 Calatrava 型號3416 白金腕錶，1964年製 附帶後補資料庫精粹
