The model was available in yellow, white and pink gold, as well as platinum. The present lot is a reference 3970/2 featuring an integrated bracelet with clasp by Patek Philippe. Reference was produced from 1986 until approximately 2004. Only a few examples of yellow gold reference 3970/2 have been offered publicly.
