Hi all!

I've been trying to get some info on this Patek, but it seems to be relatively rare, and I wasn't succesfull. I have been offered to buy it, and would need to know the value (no, it's not on eBay).

Here's what I know:

Ref. no. 3671, from ca. 1977
Case is 18K white gold
Caliber: 177
Condition is near mint, but sadly with an aftermarket strap. No box/papers.

Thanks a lot,
Mark

Hmm...tough one I find no references on it. I'd hate to guestimate but probably around $4000. It depends on the size really, if it's a big tank it can be more.

It's not a big tank compared to modern models, only 26X33 mm, which is almost the same size as the current Ref.5010, but it's only 4.5mm thick, due to the ultra slim caliber 177. The 5010 is the smallest and cheapest of the current Gondolos, but what I would like to know is, if the caliber brings any extra value.

In the Calatravas the Cal.177 is a lot more expensive than the 215, could it be the case here too? There is no exact reference, since Patek doesn't produce the Gondolos with the Cal.177 any longer.

If it's a smallish tank, I think the guestimate is about right...
