Description
The watch on offer is a pre-owned piece in very good condition and is distinguished by its complete set of original documents (the papers are an extract from the archives), which is extremely rare for models from the late 1950s. It was first sold in November 1959. The watch belongs to a group of elegant ladies’ watches featuring a concealed or discreetly integrated dial design, characteristic of Patek Philippe gold jewelry from that period. Reference 3086/68
Patek Philippe is a brand that has been setting the standard in watchmaking for over 180 years. In the 1950s and 1960s, the manufactory created exceptionally elegant jewelry watches for women, combining the art of jewelry making with precise mechanical movements. Reference 3086/68 is a perfect example of that era—a subtle, 18-karat yellow gold timepiece with a jewelry-like character, which today is a rare collector’s item.
