Need stainless crown, and/or dimensions for 3466.

[Bladeshot]

I happened upon this stainless 3466 circa 1963.

It needs a crown and I don’t have the existing one to measure dimensions. Trying to source one.

Could someone who has a 1960s 3466 (Gold or stainless) please measure the diameter of the crown and the depth of the crown and share measurements? I’m trying to find the correct crown. I do know someone who has many on hand. I need to share some dimensions to be sure I get the proper crown, if he has it.

If anyone knows a seller who has the proper crown and would like to connect me with the seller, I’d appreciate the help.

Here is my watch as well as an image of a similar watch, which I believe shows the proper crown.

I am open to any suggestions. (Yes. I’ve considered sending to Patek, but I don’t believe I need to, and I don’t really want to, if I can source the crown.). The hands have also come into question, but I do see examples with lumed hands. These hands look to be the right age and style. If I need to replace the hands, I would.

Thank you!

Good morning,
I saw you post.
I am looking for the same crown for a Patek 3466.
Did you ever find out the size/ dimensions?
Thanks, Larry

Larry, finally got the crown and stem installed. Photos are below for your review. Dimensions are hard to specify because of the curve to the outside of the crown.

Across the ridges of the crown, the knurled side where your thumb grips it to turn it, I see that dimension as 2mm. And I have the diameter shown on the caliper. Diameter is 4.61mm.

Hope this helps.
