The Complete Guide To The Patek Philippe Reference 3417 Amagnetic
One of the most interesting watches made by Patek Philippe during the middle of last century are those that we can call "Amagnetic." These rare references feature additional inner case backs, and in some cases, anti-magnetic escapement components such as solid gold or beryllium to ensure the timekeeping was not affected by any magnetism in close proximity to the watch. Now you might be thinking "hey, that's just like the Rolex Milgauss!" and you're right. It's also a lot like IWC's Ingenieur, and JLC's Geophysic. You see, the Amagnetic Pateks were really the great manufactures first and only foray into what we often call "tool" watches. 2 OF 3 And while the Amagnetic Pateks (3417 in steel, 2570 in gold) have always had a cult following, we've seen an increased interest in them by a whole new breed of buyers in the past years.

I mentioned to her I called a week ago asking about it's availability and was told they are taking orders for the watch but on the condition payment is made in full.I asked about ETA on the order.
