It has twin English day and month aperture windows underneath the 12 o'clock position, and there is a dual radial date/moon phase subsidiary dial with black Arabic numerals and a gold indicator hand at 6 o'clock. The moon phase disk with its sky chart is bright and vibrant, while the hallmarks on the case back and the lugs are as sharp as when it left the factory. It has a 38-hour power reserve at full winding, and the 11.5mm thick case, dial, and movement are all signed. This Patek Philippe Perpetual Calendar 3450 has a mechanical automatic self-winding Patek Philippe caliber 27-460 QB movement.
