Patek Philippe White Gold Calatrava Ref. 3514/4

Here we have a lovely 18kt white gold Patek Philippe Calatrava reference 3514/4 with integrated band made by Jean-Pierre Ecoffey for Patek Philippe as noted by the JPE stamp on the clasp of the signed Patek Philippe bracelet.   Jean-Pierre Ecoffey was a Geneva-based master jeweler and bracelet maker who created many high quality gold bracelets for Patek Philippe.  The majority of the reference 3514  watches were made in yellow gold so to have one in white gold with an integrated bracelet is a real find.   The watch features a beautiful 34mm multi-piece waterproof case originally designed by the legendary master casemaker Antoine Gerlach.  Under the hood is the crown jewel of vintage automatic movements:  the Patek Philippe Caliber 27-460M.  Renowned as one of the finest self-winding movements ever designed, it boasts an exquisite, solid 18k gold rotor and a seamlessly integrated date complication .  The all original silver sunburst dial is in excellent condition with applied black enamel markers and black hands.  This rare beauty comes with an Archive from Patek Philippe.
