Manufactured in 1964, this Patek Philippe Ref. 3429 is powered by the renowned Cal. 27-460 automatic movement and features a rare luminous dial housed in a waterproof case.
Considered the successor to the rare Patek Philippe Ref. 3415 (equipped with the Cal. 12-600AT), the Ref. 3429 combines a screw-back waterproof case with an automatic movement while maintaining a relatively slim profile.
Its well-proportioned 35 mm screw-back waterproof case offers a level of practicality that ranks among the very best of vintage Patek Philippe watches. Adding to its appeal is the exceptionally rare luminous dial—a feature seldom seen on Patek Philippe wristwatches of the period. The result is a remarkable timepiece that perfectly balances everyday usability with outstanding rarity.
Furthermore, the watch is accompanied by its highly valuable original warranty certificate, a scarce surviving document that further enhances the desirability and collectability of the piece. An Extract from the Archives is also included.
