PATEK PHILIPPE, REF. 3897/2, A VERY FINE AND EXTREMELY RARE 18K WHITE GOLD, DIAMOND-SET, AND ENAMEL WRISTWATCH

According to research, this reference in white gold with the same attractive configuration has never been offered previously at auction. The watch is a true work of art featuring an elaborately and microscopically hand-engraved movement that doubles as the dial. Patek Philippe has quietly hand-engraved their signature at the upper half of the barrel. The movement has also been skeletonized and is visible from both sides of the watch, requiring perfection without room for human error. A deep blue guilloche enamel disk surrounds the exterior of the dial and has hand-engraved floral hour markers. The white gold case and bracelet are further complimented with 50 round cut diamonds in the bezel and lugs, equaling .72 carats in weight.
