To signify this they added AM to the calibre number and on the dials of the calibre 3417 wrote in large cursive script Amagnetic. This has become a much sought after model combining the usual classic aesthetics we are used to from Patek Philippe with the scientific invention that we are used to from ‘tool’ watch manufacturers. To show the concept and beauty of this movement Patek produced exhibition examples of which this is a fine example in its original fitted presentation box. These would have been used by retailers and Patek representatives of which this is a fine example clearly exhibiting the attention and care Patek Philippe took over their movements.
