ITEM DESCRIPTION:

We are presenting an absolute gorgeous vintage Patek Philippe Calatrava Automatic Watch Ref 3525J from 1966.  The dial has an absolutely aged look with even-toned patina on an original Patek Philippe Gold-tone Champagne background.  Inside the watch the legendary automatic movement cal. 27-460 serves as the timekeeper which is both robust and luxurious.  This is quite the unique version of the Patek Philippe Calatrava with a cushion-shaped case.  At the first glance most would think it is a manual-winding watch instead it is an automatic with one of the best Patek Philippe movements ever made.  

Condition-wise the watch runs well and keeps time.  It has not been serviced by the seller and it's under the sole discretion of the end-user in regards to service or maintenance.  We do not make any guarantee to its timekeeping accuracy or longevity.  PLEASE DO NOT EXPOSE IT TO MOISTURE OR DIP IT IN WATER AS IT IS NOT ASSUMED TO BE WATER RESISTANT.  Cosmetically the watch is in very shape with some evidence of surface wear.  There are various tiny nicks and dings on the case and bezel and near the junctions of the case and lugs there are some evidence of the watch been worn on a gold bracelet in the past.  The dial with patina is 100% original Patek Philippe and it is really wonderful with this nice and even natural maturation in color to give it the testament of age.  The strap is near new and buckle are both signed Patek Philippe, the 18K gold buckle is original.  Comes with Patek Philippe Plum-Colored Leather Sleeve, Patek Philippe archive paper included. Guaranteed 100% authentic.  Dimensions are 32mm (width) x 38.5mm (lug to lug).
