Lot Essay

Patek Philippe is renowned for its production in precious metals of sophisticated dress watches and intricate perpetual calendar mechanisms. Historical references crafted in stainless steel prior to the introduction of the Nautilus are particularly noteworthy, as they carry significant historical importance, intrigue, and desirability among collectors. The demand for anti-magnetic wristwatches emerged in the mid-1950s, prompting various brands to experiment with timepieces designed to withstand strong magnetic fields while maintaining precision.

Production of reference 3417 was launched in 1958 and ceased around 1970. It was Patek Philippe's first "Anti-Magnetic" wristwatch made in series, available exclusively in stainless steel.
