The rare reference 4121 was produced between 1971 and 1974, mostly in yellow gold and approximately a third of the pieces in white gold, such as the present lot. The design of the case made by Weber is repeated on the integrated bracelet links. The panel’s colour inside the dial made by Stern Frères and bracelet is called “blue gold” and was patented by Patek Philippe who used it for various models. The watch is powered by the classic calibre 175.
