PATEK PHILIPPE Calatrava Ref. 3445 18k solid gold “Huber” double signing – 1966

This elegant Patek Philippe Calatrava Ref. 3445, produced in 1966, is crafted in solid 18k yellow gold and powered by the automatic caliber 27-460M. Known as one of the most refined vintage Calatravas, the 3445 combines classic proportions with timeless simplicity. The standout feature of this example is its rare double-signed dial, bearing both the Patek Philippe Genève signature and the name of the distinguished Munich jeweler Huber. Such retailer signatures were produced only in small quantities, making them highly desirable among collectors today. The silver dial shows light, honest signs of age, adding to its vintage appeal, with applied gold indexes, dauphine hands, and a date aperture at 3 o’clock. The watch retains its original black leather strap and 18k gold buckle, both in lightly used condition, consistent with the watch’s age. The case remains sharp, with gentle wear that speaks to careful ownership. Overall, this is a well-preserved and highly collectible Calatrava, combining Patek Philippe’s hallmark elegance with the rarity of a retailer double signing—a true prize for the discerning collector.
