Catalogue Note
Accompanied by a Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives.
Skꦡeletonized wristw♍atches by Patek Philippe are increasingly sought after by collectors today. To the best of our knowledge, only around 300 to 400 pieces of Ref 3880 were made from 1980 to late 1990s. This is the first time the present lot has been offered at auction.
