Description

A rare collaboration piece that combines Patek Philippe’s masterful watchmaking with Tiffany & Co.’s legendary provenance. This Patek Philippe reference 3860/3 features a distinctive octagonal case crafted entirely in 18k yellow gold, paired with an integrated mesh bracelet of exceptional quality. The elegant, ultra-thin profile makes this manual-wind dress watch perfect for collectors seeking discretion with undeniable pedigree. Produced circa 1985, this example is all original and was serviced in-house by a Patek-trained independent watchmaker on September 1, 2025.

The case is crafted from solid 18k yellow gold. The distinctive octagonal shape with stepped bezel design measures 28mm x 33mm, offering a slim, elegant profile that slides effortlessly under any cuff. The flat scratch-resistant sapphire crystal protects the dial while maintaining the watch’s ultra-thin silhouette. Light surface scratches visible on the bezel, case, and case back are consistent with age and can be polished if desired.

The dial is a study in minimalist elegance. The gold-tone dial features applied baton hour markers and thin, black printed minute markers around the perimeter. The highly desirable co-signature of Tiffany & Co. appears at 6 o’clock – a mark that significantly enhances collectability and value. Slender gold dauphine hands complement the monochromatic design perfectly. The dial does show some minor spotting from age, which is typical for a vintage piece from the 1980s.

The integrated 18k yellow gold bracelet features a finely woven textured pattern with a hidden fold-over clasp. It provides a seamless fit and matches the tone and quality of the case perfectly. The bracelet remains tight with no sag and fits wrists up to approximately 7 to 7.5 inches.

The manual-wind movement has been machine-tested for accuracy and performs within expected Patek Philippe standards. The watch was serviced in-house by their Patek-trained independent watchmaker on September 1, 2025, ensuring reliable performance for years to come.

About brand
Patek Philippe stands at the very peak of watchmaking. Since 1839, the Geneva-based maison has created some of the world's most complicated and sought-after timepieces. Owning a Patek Philippe is not merely acquiring a watch — it is becoming a custodian of horological art. From the legendary Nautilus — one of the first luxury sports watches — to the elegant Calatrava and the ultra‑complicated Grand Complications collection, Patek Philippe watches are heirlooms designed to be passed through generations. A lesser-known fact: The Patek Philippe Calibre 89, created in 1989 for the brand's 150th anniversary, held the title of the world's most complicated mechanical watch for 25 years, with 33 complications and 1,728 components.
