Catalogue Essay
The present lady's wristwatch intriguingly presents features usually associated with more masculine timepieces, such as the screw lugs, the absence of any kind of gem-setting, and the "old-school” porcelain dial style featuring railway minute divisions, Breguet numerals, and Breguet hands. In fact, this was the lady’s counterpart to the celebrated officer-cased ref. 3960. The ref. 4860 was originally released in yellow gold in 1992; around 1995, the line was updated with white and pink gold versions, such as the present example, and the models would remain in production until 2006.
Accompanied by its Certificate of Origin and recently service by Patek Philippe, this small lady’s timepiece is exceptionally charming.
