Patek Philippe Calatrava Steel
Ref. 3466
Caliber 27-460 automatic
Year 1965
35mm steel case
The reference 3466 is a rare model that was produced by Patek Philippe for about ten years, from the early 1960s to the early 1970s.
Made exclusively of stainless steel, it was marketed by Patek Philippe as a sportier alternative to the Calatrava models.
This watch features a screw-down case back, which offers greater water resistance than other Calatrava models with a snap-on case back.
In addition, the reference 3466 is powered by an automatic caliber, which eliminates the need for manual winding and makes it more suitable for an active lifestyle.
Today, this watch is highly sought after by collectors due to its limited production and the 35mm case size, which is particularly popular with modern collectors.
