The W125 was specially produced in 2003 to celebrate the 125th anniversary of the relationship between Wempe and Patek Philippe. This series was offered exclusively through Wempe retailers. "Wempe" is printed on the dial in silver and engraved on the case back. In total, only 475 examples of this model were produced and of that only 125 were in white gold. This watch is number 115 out of 125. The watch was made to resemble the legendary reference 3448/3450 with its dauphine hands, baton numerals, and smooth bezel. The day and date are displayed in German.
