The Patek Philippe reference 3445 is a landmark model in the brand’s history, celebrated as the first automatic Calatrava to feature a date complication displayed through a discreet aperture at three o’clock. Introduced in the 1960s, this reference combines the elegance and restraint of the classic Calatrava design with the convenience of a self-winding movement, exemplifying Patek Philippe’s ability to marry form and function seamlessly.
