Limited to only 50 pieces.
The watch was made in 1989.
The watch comes with a 1 year movement guarantee and an extract from the Patek Philippe archives confirming its date of manufacture and sale.
Patek Philippe has diversified the look of the Calatrava right from the start. Within a decade of introducing the Ref. 96, they were already experimenting with fancy cases and lugs, unusual dials, and anti-magnetic “tool watches”. But one style they never ventured towards was a military model.
All this changed in 1989: To celebrate their 150th anniversary, Patek Philippe released a set of retro-styled models, including Ref. 3960, the first-ever Calatrava Officer's Watch. Ref. 3960 really stood out in the Calatrava line with screwed-in bars between the lugs instead of a springbar, a fancy crown, and classy Breguet numerals and hands on a clean white dial. But the sweetest feature was the hinged caseback which called to mind classic pocket watches from the Geneva company’s heritage.
