Description

80. Patek Philippe. A very fine and rare platinum manual wind wristwatch with jumping hours dial Model: Limited Edition 150th Anniversary 1839-1989 Reference: 3969 Date: Purchased January 12th, 1990 Movement: 18-jewel Cal.215 HG manual wind, freesprung Gyromax balance, adjusted to heat, cold, isochronism and 5 positions, stamped with the Seal of Geneva, No.752977 Dial: Silvered, black outer minute track with 5 minute Arabic numeral markers, jump hour aperture at 12, single blued steel 'Breguet' style hand Case: Brushed and polished tonneau form, snap on back, No.2863890 Strap/Bracelet: Black leather Buckle/Clasp: Signed platinum buckle Signed: Case, dial & movement Size: 28mm x 38mm Weight: 58,37g Accompaniments: Extract from the Archives dated February 9th, 2007 Created in 1989 to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Patek Philippe, reference 3969 stands as one of the manufacture's most charming and unconventional commemorative creations. Inspired by the tonneau-shaped jump hour wristwatches of the late 1920s, it marked the Stern family's first modern interpretation of the jump hour complication since acquiring the company in 1932. Powered by the manual-winding calibre 215 HG, the reference combines a highly traditional aesthetic with a playful and unusual display, reflecting Patek Philippe's ability to blend heritage with technical refinement. Production remained extremely limited, with only 450 examples manufactured in pink gold and 50 in platinum. Long appreciated by knowledgeable collectors for its discreet originality and historical significance, the reference 3969 occupies a unique place within Patek Philippe's modern production, offering an elegant alternative to the manufacture's more conventional complications.
