A 1989 18 karat gold Patek Philippe Ref 3974 automatic minute repeater led Bonhams' Fine Watches sale in London.
It realised £218,500 ($343,498) in the December 10 auction.
 Patek Philippe issued Ref 3974 to celebrate its 150th anniversary |
The lot was designed to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the iconic maker and was produced in a limited run, of which only 90 were made in yellow gold.
Bonhams comments: "The very complex combination of the minute repeating mechanism and the perpetual calendar within the small dimensions of a 12 ligne movement are still a wonder today."
