Founded in 1839, Patek Philippe is one of the most prestigious watch manufacturers in history.
Established by Antoine Norbert de Patek and François Czapek, the company’s mission has always been to develop and produce the finest watches in the world. This commitment continues to define the philosophy and achievements of the Patek Philippe manufacture, widely regarded as the pinnacle of haute horlogerie, with more than 180 years of tradition and history.
Introducing the Patek Philippe Ref.3479 vintage square model from 1963.
Featuring Patek Philippe’s classical linear Art Deco design, this model possesses a distinctive and elegant presence unique to Patek watches of this era.
The beautifully proportioned square case showcases the refined craftsmanship and technical excellence for which Patek Philippe is renowned. The integrated lugs and attractive 22mm lug width further enhance its sophisticated appearance.
The yellow gold case perfectly complements the elegant case design characteristic of Patek Philippe.
The upright index at 12 o’clock, along with the PATEK PHILIPPE signature, creates an even more refined and intricate atmosphere. The tapered pencil hands with their subtle curved profile are another charming detail unique to this period.
The beautifully balanced and sophisticated dial design, combined with the elegant case shape, creates an irreplaceable vintage character and a high-quality finish that modern watches cannot replicate.
The crown is also a rare recessed type featuring the traditional Calatrava Cross emblem.
The movement displays the graceful bridges and elegant curves characteristic of Patek Philippe, finished with Côtes de Genève decoration. It is powered by the highly reliable manual-winding Cal.23-300PM, equipped with a Gyromax balance — one of Patek Philippe’s celebrated movements.
From the dial and indexes to the hands and case, every detail embodies the authentic sophistication unique to vintage Patek Philippe watches — a level of character and refinement that modern watches simply cannot reproduce.
