You merely look after it for the next generation.” This refined dress watch shows the truth of that slogan, having been cared for by three generations and ready for its next caretaker. The Patek Philippe brand rose to global prominence in the 1940s with the Calatrava as their most prominent wristwatch. Their excellent craftsmanship was demonstrated clearly in 1962 when they set the world timekeeping record at the Geneva Observatory, a record which stands today. This particular watch was manufactured in 1965, within the first year of the Civil Rights Act and also the same year the Apollo launch pads were built to send man to the moon for the first time. The 1960s were an era for change and progress, in the world overall and in the world of watches. This Calatrava is a testament to the impressive quality and reliability of watches designed and built by Patek Philippe. It has been maintained in exceptional condition, has been well-serviced, and continues to keep time remarkably well for a vintage watch. Unlike any other you’ll find on the market, this watch comes with multiple papers showing its own history as a product from Patek Philippe. The Extract from the Archives shows the watch with this case and movement numbers was made on April 7, 1965. And alongside that, also included is the original purchase receipt from Lugano, Switzerland, making it a Swiss watch sold in the same country in which it was made. **Condition** Flawless crystal, some signs of wear (scratches) on the case/bracelet (could be polished out), inner box still has plastic protector over release buttons **Logistics** Next-day insured within the continental US via wire or zelle Credit card via Paypal G&S is accepted for the cost of fees with a reference / id check I'm happy to provide my website, ebay reviews, google reviews, references, etc. upon request. **Detailed Specs** 📌 Reference: 3512 📌 Case Diameter: 31mm 📌 Case Material: Yellow Gold 📌 Dial Color: Champagne 📌 Crystal: Acrylic 📌 Water Resistance: 30m 📌 Movement: Manual-wind 📌 Bracelet: Brown leather strap 📌 Power Reserve: \~36 hours 📌 Includes: Papers
