Lot Essay

Patek Philippe confirm the production of this watch in 1968 and subsequent sale on 11 November 1968.

It is thought that the reference number 3561 was made in a limited edition of 50 examples only. This is probably only the second time that this particular model is offered in a public auction.

A similar watch, with different reference number though, is illustrated in Patek Philippe Wristwatches by Martin Huber & Alan Banbery, first edition p. 171 and second edition p. 219.
