Notes

Property of a Hong Kong Collector

Launched in April 1989, the Patek Philippe Ref. 3960 was one of the eight novelties introduced by the house to commemorate its 150th anniversary. It had a limited production of 2,200 pieces, of which 2,000 were in yellow gold, 150 in white gold, and 50 in platinum. Its unmistakably nostalgic design vocabulary — the bassine case, onion crown, hinged officer’s caseback, and a dial set with Breguet numerals and Breguet hands — reaffirmed Patek Philippe’s unwavering commitment to traditional watchmaking, especially at a time when the Swiss watchmaking industry was still emerging f rom the shadow of the quartz crisis.
