1974 Patek Philippe Stainless Steel Calatrava Tonneau Blue Dial 3574 with extract from the archives
An extremely rare and highly collectible with an incredible 70s look stainless steel Patek Philippe "Calatrava" Tonneau reference 3574 mid-size 35mm with an outstanding no lume “Less is More” sunburst blue dial with crafted indexes and matching hands.
The Patek Philippe Calatrava reference 3574, produced in the 1970s, is a rare and distinctive take on the brand’s timeless dress watch aesthetic. Unlike the traditional round Calatrava case, this reference features a refined tonneau-shaped stainless steel case that reflects the era’s taste for bold yet elegant geometries. Its striking blue sunburst dial, minimalist in execution with slender baton markers and hands, offers a sharp contrast to the more conservative silver and white dials of earlier models. Powered by the hand-wound caliber 23-300, the 3574 carries forward Patek Philippe’s dedication to slim, precise movements. While understated at first glance, its combination of a steel case, unusual shape, and vivid dial color make it a sought-after gem among collectors today, embodying the experimental spirit of 1970s watch design while retaining the brand’s signature sophistication.
