Catalogue EssayTo celebrate the 150th Anniversary of the manufacture, Patek Philippe introduced the ref. 3960 and the Caliber 89 together with other references. Introduced as a limited edition of 2,000 examples in yellow gold, 150 examples in white gold and 50 examples in platinum, the reference was one of the most sought after timepieces from the commemoration series in the market. Encased in a classic 36mm diameter officer-style case, the white lacquered dial is further charmed with black painted Breguet numerals with a small seconds counter positioned above 6 O’clock. With a hinged caseback, once opened it reveals a beautiful hand-engraved commemoration date for the 150th Anniversary of the firm. The present example in yellow gold is offered with its Certificate of Origin, attestation, as well as the Geneva seal certificate and presentation box. A truly elegant and understated limited edition timepiece made by none other than Patek Philippe.Read MoreMaker BiographyPatek PhilippeSwiss • 1839 Follow Since its founding in 1839, this famous Geneva-based firm has been surprising its clientele with superbly crafted timepieces fitted with watchmaking's most prestigious complications.
