Ref. 3960
Officer's watch: Officers in the 1914 war used this kind of watch, which replaced the pocket watch but kept a similar shape. Limited editions in this design were produced for the 150th anniversary: 2000 watches in yellow gold, 150 in white gold, and 50 in platinum. To own one of these watches is being part of a world where old values still count. Patek Philippe took their inspiration from the past to create a reliable watch that feels comfortable to wear. The buckle as well as the way the bracelet is fitted to the case emphasize the traditional style of this watch.
