We are proud to offer the classic and distinctive mid-century Patek Philippe mens midsize ref. 3442 dress watch showcased in today's offering that comes with a Patek Extract.

The centerpiece of the watch are its fashionable and somewhat avant garde "bullhorn" lugs.

With its understated silver face and distinctive round case, it showcases a classic and elegant vintage Patek style.

As a mens midsize when it was made, it is a small unisex size by today's standard, well-suited for someone who has a smaller wrist.

Powering it is its illustrious Patek Philippe 10 ligne movement, unquestionably among the finest hand-winding movements ever built.

It has all original Patek parts down to the winding crown.

It presents in beautiful condition - our photos couldn't do it justice. Its case presents as better than near mint on the wrist and still retains two hallmarks, one very crisp. The back has one pin prick small - otherwise it presents as just short of mint.

Its silver dial is bright and clean, previously refinished.

One of our Master Watchmakers, who used to be the watchmaker for an authorized Rolex dealer and was given special training by Rolex at their Beverly Hills Service Center to be an authorized Rolex watchmaker, has fully serviced the watch which consists of fully disassembling the movement, carefully inspecting each part, replacing any overly worn components with genuine Patek parts including installing a new mainspring, reassembling and lubricating the movement, and extensive timing testing and regulation (a $695 value).

For the finishing touch it comes equipped with a Patek Philippe strap making it ready for immediate enjoyment.

Accompanying the watch is an Extract from the Patek Philippe Archives attesting to is authenticity and originality. Patek charges 500CHF to provide one.

Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function and a new timing certificate attesting to its performance.
