For sale is a stunning and rare Patek Philippe Calatrava Ref. 3954 ‘Olympic Rings’ in 18k Yellow Gold.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire the Patek Philippe Calatrava Ref. 3954, an elegant and historically significant timepiece created to commemorate the Olympic Games. Housed in a classic 33mm 18k yellow gold case, this limited-edition watch was not made available to the public, but was instead gifted exclusively to select dignitaries, officials, and members of the Olympic Committee, making it an exceptionally rare collector's piece.
Understated and sophisticated, this Calatrava maintains the timeless design language Patek Philippe is known for, while carrying a unique legacy tied to global athletic excellence.
The clean white dial features contrasting black Roman Numeral hour markers and gold hands, and is adorned with the iconic five Olympic rings — a subtle yet symbolic tribute to the spirit of the Games.
Adding to its intrigue and provenance, the solid 18k yellow gold caseback bears the engraved name "Giulio Andreotti", the former Prime Minister of Italy and one of the most influential political figures of the 20th century. While we cannot confirm with absolute certainty that this watch personally belonged to Andreotti, the engraving strongly suggests a possible connection, enhancing its historical significance and collectible appeal.
The watch is in excellent condition and retains both its original leather strap and 18k gold buckle, both in excellent condition.
Powered by a high-precision Patek Philippe quartz movement, the Ref. 3954 offers the convenience of low-maintenance accuracy within a slim, lightweight profile.
A highly collectible and significant timepiece, the Calatrava 3954 bridges the worlds of fine Swiss watchmaking and Olympic history — a fitting tribute from one of the world’s most prestigious watchmakers to one of the world’s greatest sporting events.
