Found: A Patek Philippe 3448 White Gold At Sotheby's New York (Or Is It A 3450 Yellow Gold?) �C The Story Of The Convertible Perpetual Calendar

So when I heard about a very special 3448 coming up at Sotheby's, I had to go see it in person. What you are about to see is something you have likely never encountered before – a Patek Philippe reference 3448 in white gold, with a later yellow-gold reference 3450 case as a back up. Say hello to a convertible Patek Philippe. 1 OF 5 This reference 3448 white gold is accompanied by an entirely different case, dial, hand-set, and crown �C all in yellow gold.

GMT question BLNR or LN?
I want to get a GMT. Didn't like the SkyDweller so gave it away. One of the ADs has a LN in stock. I haven't tried it on the wrist, but black and steel combination generally looks good on the wrist. The BLNR is tough to get, but with some perseverance I might be able to get it. I really like the blue hand compared to the green. Plus the blue/black combination looks better.Shall I get LN or wait it out? If I get the BLNR, I might get Blue/Red insert to swap the bezel. I think its a versatile watch. The insert would work better on BLNR than the LN? The SS BLRO will be a while to get plus not liking the jubilee bracelet much? So a BLNR that can be BLRO look aslike once in a while and BLNR when needed. What are your thoughts fellow TRF members?Anyone tried BLNR or BLRO insert on LN?Sent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using Tapatalk
