Patek Philippe Perpetual Calendar 3940J Second Series with Original Paper

Dealer description — Bulang & Sons

Watch trends come and go, but the mighty perpetual calendar is forever highly sought after by collectors. One current hot trend is the neo-vintage watch on leather strap and we believe we have the pinnacle of such a watch here with this stunning Patek Philippe ! This is a stunning Patek Philippe reference 3940 in yellow gold that features the second series dial. The star of the show is the dial. We believe there is no Perpetual calendar watches that have so much information on the dial - still the most easy to read timing and ofcourse dates ! We LOVE the sub dials , the hands , we could go on-and on ! At the height of the quartz crisis that decimated the Swiss watch industry, Patek released these watches with perpetual calendar complications in 36 mm cases. The beautifully proportioned case is in superb condition and this example has a solid case back. The calendar is in Geman and the watch comes with its original papers , stating a sale to an Austrian dealership. The watch is fitted with the pictured leather strap that has the original gold Patek buckle and also comes with the original Patek leather strap and a Patek box. We adore the 3940 and believe that it is still highly underappreciated with a lot of potential for the future. Calendarwatches is where it’s at in the current market, so get in touch to discuss this watch some more!
