The 27-460 was released in the 1960s as a successor to the old Patek automatic 12-600AT. We have the Ref. 3445, a representative model equipped with this movement, in stock. The edgy, slender lines are characteristic of the 1960s design, and the simple, minimalist design still doesn't feel dated. The dial features thin bar indexes and thin pencil hands. The dial has a sunburst finish, making it a beautiful piece with no wasted space. The elegant white gold case has a distinctly different shine than stainless steel.

The minimalist design screw-back case is in such a good condition that it has hardly been polished, so there are some scratches, but it doesn't look bad.

The size is just right at 35mm (measured without the crown), and it has a strong presence. The weight of the white gold and the fit of the crocodile strap are both excellent.

This is a watch that I personally want, so if it doesn't sell I will buy it and add it to my collection, so I apologize if that happens.
