FootnotesIntroduced in 1958 and in production for just 4 years, the reference 3418 was mostly sold with a steel bracelet however the owner had the option to swap it with a leather strap thanks to an ingenious convertible system under the case. The model is powered by the Calibre 27-AM 400 antimagnetic movement, making the reference 3418 a "tool watch", a purpose specific watch, which is very unusual for Patek Philippe.Additional informationAuction informationBonhams cannot arrange for the delivery of lots containing mother of pearl or ruby into the United States due to import restrictions.Please note that in some circumstances we are unable to ship the watch with its strap due to regulations regarding material derived from endangered or otherwise protected species.The buyer or designated agent may collect the property in the country of sale.For information and estimates on domestic and international shipping please contact ThePackengers on:
