One of Patek Philippe’s most iconic perpetual calendars, the reference 3450 was produced between 1981 and 1985 in just 244 examples. Distinguished as the first Patek Philippe wristwatch to feature a leap-year indicator, it marked a milestone in the evolution of the brand’s perpetual calendar lineage. This 1985 example, sold by Jürgen Reimann in Düsseldorf, Germany, is cased in 18K yellow gold and represents the final year of production.
