PATEK PHILIPPE ROSE GOLD JUMP HOUR ANNIVERSARY WATCH

The ref. 3969R was made especially to celebrate Patek Philippe’s 150th anniversary. With only 450 examples being produced in 18K pink gold, and 50 in platinum, the ref. 3969 offers collectors access to a rare style in the Patek Philippe catalog of timepieces. The aperture at 12 o’clock reveals the hour digitally and ‘jump’ from hour to hour as the minute hand travels around the dial. The movement is a manual wind caliber 215 HG (HG denoting the jump hour complication). The origin of the base caliber 215 dates back to 1975 when it was first introduced into an Ellipse model and still serves within Patek Philippe’s current production.
