Description
SquareTrade © AP6.0 PATEK PHILIPPE 3940 J PERPETUAL CALENDAR 18K GOLD The Patek Philippe reference 3940 perpetual calendar was produced between 1985 through 2006. That is a mighty long time for a watch manufacture to produce a single reference, but the 3940 is no ordinary watch. The presentation of the calendar functions is without par for its balance and clarity. Add to that the dauphine hands, silver dial, applied hour markers and simple caselines and you have the perfect perpetual calendar. The dial on this watch is original, and is a rare so-called "First Series" dial, produced only from 1985 to 1987. The characteristics of this dial which are different from the later dials (which were produced in a much larger quantity) are: * the color of the subdials contrast slightly to the main dial * the subdials are cut straight into the dial (and more deeply) and do not have the flanged sides that the subdials on all subsequent versions have * the days and months font is printed on the main dial, versus on the flange of the subdials as seen on later dial versions * the 24 hour subdial (at 9 o'clock) is shaded between '18' and '6' to indicate nighttime * The second 'E' in "GENEVE" is accented * the 'SWISS' at the very bottom of the dial has a little bubble on either side Case is 18k yellow gold with dimensions of 35mm diameter by 8.5mm high. Sapphire crystal. The case on this watch is mint+. Movement is the automatic winding Patek Philippe Caliber 240 Q with 27 jewels, 48 hour power reserve, and stamped with the Geneva Seal. This is one of, if not the most, reliable perpetual calendar mechanisms ever produced by any manufacture. Original Patek 18k yellow gold buckle and new Patek strap. The overall condition of this watch is mint+. First series dial 3940s are very rare, and now that the 3940 has been formally discontinued the appreciation outlook is very strong. Watch will be delivered with box and Patek Philippe Extract from the Archive.
