Stainless steel Patek Philippe wristwatches are often rarer to come by than their yellow gold and white gold counterparts. Indeed, when a stainless steel Patek Philippe wristwatch comes up for auction, many collectors become very excited at the prospect of bidding for one. The present calatrava model with subsidiary seconds, reference 3466, is such an example. Offered in crisp and original condition, the present watch still retains sharp finishes to both the case and the lugs even fifty years after its production. 22/10/15 10:01
