A real officer’s case, complete with screwed lugs and a large crown, a lovely Breguet dial (numerals and hands), and a modern yet slim 36 mm case size. But flip open the hinged case back and you’ll see perhaps the best element: A sapphire window showing a lovely Patek Philippe automatic movement. Patek Philippe has produced a number of watches in the officer's watch style, and frequently uses this term to describe these models.

Patek Philippe rose to prominence after World War I, but many Patek watches were used in the war. Some decades later, a new style of watch appeared, called the officer's watch, and evocative of the watches used at that time and on naval vessels since then. A true Officer's Watch has a round case with a simple dial, typically including small seconds and sector dial, a large onion crown, scrolled lugs with a screw-in strap bar, and often a hinged (“Officer's”) solid case back. In 2001, Patek Philippe introduced a new Calatrava, Ref. 5053 in a larger size and including the hinged case back made popular with Ref. 3960. This became the new definitive Patek Officer's Watch, though the use of center seconds was not in keeping with the style.
