Essay: 
Patek Philippe launched the reference 3411 in 1959 and it was in production until the late 1960s. Most of these models were cased in yellow gold. The cases were made by Wenger. The watch measures 35 mm, but has great wrist presence due to its flatness and straight lugs. This watch features a center seconds hand, baton gold hour markers, and dauphine hands. The reference 3411 is a good example of a classic Patek Philippe Calatrava.
