The Patek Philippe Reference 3878, crafted from 1981 to the early 2000s, is renowned for its slender skeletonized automatic movement, meticulously hand-engraved with elaborate scrolls and ornamental designs. It holds the distinction of being Patek Philippe's initial foray into self-winding skeletonized timepieces. Research indicates that around 500 units of this reference were created. It is a beautiful example for collectors of vintage Patek Philippe at its finest.
