Vintage Cartier, Authentically Yours
Patek Philippe Calatrava AT WG Ref. 3569
Patek Philippe, founded in 1839, is one of the world’s finest watch manufactures.
Calatrava is the pinnacle of dress watches and a symbol of the brand, a rare icon that continues to reign as a classic and object of admiration.
This Ref. 3569 is a particularly unusual Calatrava model.
It features the rare Automatic Cal. 350 movement with a peripheral rotor in a 35 mm case, with the crown positioned on the back to create a symmetrical design.
The case features beautiful engraving, while the dial has a stunning blue sunburst finish.
With the crown positioned on the back, the watch is designed to feel comfortable when worn on either the left or right wrist.
Although this is a fairly obscure model, the Cal. 350, the case construction, the dial finishing, and the movement are all of exceptionally high quality, as one would expect.
It is fitted with an 18k buckle made by AW.
PRODUCT DETAILS
Condition and Warranty
The dial has some fading, which is unfortunate, but the overall condition is exceptionally good, making this a very high-level example.
The case has a few light scratches, but is in excellent overall condition and remains very clean.
The edges are also remarkably crisp, and the case appears to have received little to no polishing. It had an exceptionally beautiful finish when acquired, so it has been left unpolished.
The hands and crystal are both clean, with almost no dirt or scratches. Fading and discoloration are visible around the 11, 5, and 6 o’clock positions on the dial. Otherwise, it is in remarkably clean condition.
The case back has a few very light scratches, but we have left it as is to preserve its original condition.
As this is a vintage item, minor changes due to age and use may be present. Please review the photos and product description for its condition. The exterior, operability, and movement are inspected before sale.
