Notes

Launched in 1932, the Calatrava is known for its elegant, classic and timeless design. What makes the reference 3445 a milestone in watchmaking history is the fact that it is the first automatic wristwatch with a date produced by Patek Philippe. This practical combination was the answer to the expectations of the modern society. Hence, it was very successful and was produced from 1961 to 1981, in all metals, here in grey gold.
