Patek Philippe Yellow Gold Beta 21 Watch Ref. 3587

The 1960s and 1970s were tumultuous times in the watch world as the introduction of the Quartz movement threw the watchmaking world into panic. These new movements were powered by battery and ran more accurately and dependably than their mechanical predecessors. The very first reference that Patek produced with a quartz movement was the reference offered here, the Reference 3587. Large in scale compared to other Patek Philippe watches and futuristic in design, this watch stood out in the catalogue and made a lasting impression. This particular example is in fantastic original condition with a tight bracelet, sharp case and clear hallmarks. We believe the watch to be all original and the iconic yellow gold bracelet fits about a 7.25 wrist.
