A guide for this piece: about $2,870, based on the 10% US charge on the declared value of goods made in Japan.
The final figure is set by US Customs and depends on where the piece was made and the kind of object it is. Many antiques over a century old carry no ordinary duty; most jewellery and leather goods add a single-digit rate.

A Patek Philippe reference 3405J-203 in 18-carat yellow gold, a square-cased hand-wound dress watch with a silver dial, shown with its boxes, booklet and repair history.
The Piece
Patek Philippe was founded in Geneva in 1839 and has made watches there ever since, and its square and rectangular dress watches in gold are among the house's quietest and most collected.
Reference 3405J-203 is a square watch in 18-carat yellow gold. The silver dial has a fine brushed finish, with gold angle markers at the corners and slim gold hands. The movement is wound by hand and was serviced in February 2022. The black leather strap closes with an 18-carat yellow gold buckle.
The case is 27 mm (1.06 in) wide, and the strap fits a wrist of about 18.5 cm (7.3 in). The crystal carries slight scratches, the case a few more, and the bezel shows slight wear. The dial and hands are clean, and the strap shows a little use. The set includes the outer box, inner box, instruction booklet and a statement of repair history.
