REF. 3881⁄1, MOVEMENT NO. 1'389'448, CASE NO. 2’801'793, MANUFACTURED IN 1983

Reference 3881⁄1 represents one of Patek Philippe's earliest series-produced skeletonized wristwatches, created alongside the related Reference 3880 during a remarkable period from the late 1970s through the early 1990s. Each example required hundreds of hours of handcraftsmanship in a specialized atelier, where artisans meticulously cut away the movement bridges, beveled every edge, and decorated remaining surfaces with swirling engravings. With its seamless fusion of haute horlogerie and haute joaillerie, the Reference 3881⁄1 remains a highly sought-after collector's piece, representing a golden era of Patek Philippe's skeletonization artistry.
