Patek Philippe Calatrava Ref. 3960 – 150th Anniversary Officer’s Case – 18k Yellow Gold – Limited Edition – 1989 – Excellent Condition - Just In-House serviced

We are delighted to present this exceptional Patek Philippe Calatrava Ref. 3960, a highly collectible limited-edition timepiece created to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the legendary manufacture Patek Philippe.

Produced in 1989 as part of the brand’s historic jubilee collection, the reference 3960 was issued in a strictly limited series and remains one of the most charming commemorative Calatrava models ever produced. This remarkable example is crafted in 18k yellow gold, measures 33 mm, and is offered in excellent condition. The watch is accompanied by an Extract from the Archives, confirming its authenticity and production details.

The refined Officer’s-style case in 18k yellow gold features elegant straight lugs and a beautifully hinged case back (engraved with the jubille date 1839-1989) that opens to reveal the movement—an homage to classic officer’s watches from the early 20th century. With its perfectly balanced 33 mm proportions, the watch embodies the understated elegance and timeless design philosophy that defines the Calatrava line.

The white dial is distinguished by its charming Breguet numerals, refined minute track, and classic small seconds at 6 o’clock. Elegant blued steel hands provide a subtle contrast against the dial, enhancing legibility while adding a touch of traditional Genevan watchmaking aesthetics. The overall design is both restrained and sophisticated, making the watch instantly recognizable as a true Calatrava.

At its heart beats the ultra-thin manual-wind caliber 215 PS, one of the most respected movements in the Patek Philippe repertoire. Visible beneath the officer-style hinged case back, the movement exemplifies the brand’s legendary finishing standards, including Geneva stripes, beveled edges, and meticulously polished components, all assembled and regulated by hand in Geneva.

The watch is fitted with a high-quality leather strap and an 18k yellow gold Patek Philippe flat buckle, preserving the elegance and authenticity of this historic anniversary piece.
