To signify this they added AM to the calibre number and on the dials of the calibre 3417 wrote in large cursive script Amagnetic. This has become a much sought after model combining the usual classic aesthetics we are used to from Patek Philippe with the scientific invention that we are used to from 'tool' watch manufacturers.
