Lot Essay

Launched in 1962, the reference 3448 was the first automatic perpetual calendar wristwatch serially produced by any manufacturer. It was made primarily in yellow gold in low numbers: estimates put the total production, all case metals, at approximately 600 units. A minority were cased in white gold (approximately 150 pieces), and one example in pink gold and two in platinum (with cases originally born in yellow gold).
