Notes
To celebrate the 150th Anniversary of the manufacture, Patek Philippe introduced the Ref. 3960 and the Calibre 89 together with other references. Introduced as a limited edition of 2000 examples in yellow gold. The reference was one of the most sought-after timepieces from the commemoration series in the market.
Encased in a classic 36 mm. 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 case-back, once opened it reveals a beautiful hand-engraved commemoration date for the 150th Anniversary of the firm.
