Patek gold Bonhams
Patek Philippe issued Ref 3974 to celebrate its 150th anniversary

The lot was designed to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the iconic maker and was produced in a limited run, of which only 90 were made in yellow gold.

Bonhams comments: "The very complex combination of the minute repeating mechanism and the perpetual calendar within the small dimensions of a 12 ligne movement are still a wonder today."
