One of the most iconic and collectible watches is by far the infamous "Padellone", an automatic perpetual calendar measuring just 37.5mm in diameter with an 18K yellow gold case and produced in only 237 examples. A worthy successor to the maison's first automatic perpetual calendar, the reference 3448, differs mainly in the small window in the Argentè dial to indicate the leap year and in the presence of a slightly smaller caseback than the previous version and the presence of a small protrusion. to facilitate opening. Characterized precisely by the very limited production which lasted from 1981 to 1985 and by the peculiarity of the automatic movement, it is and remains one of the most iconic and collectible models of the Swiss fashion house Patek Philippe in the Grand Complications section.
