Description
Patek Philippe is universally acknowledged as the king of Swiss watchmaking. Even in this rarified air, some watches outshine others. The Patek Philippe reference 3970 is one of Patek's top watches of all time. Complicated Pateks definitely cast a spell over their admirers (and your author is no exception). The 3970 is a perpetual calendar paired with a chronograph, and it has that certain something, that makes it a must have timepiece. Patek Philippe is the originator of pairing these two complications, and in platinum, this is an extra meaningful wristwatch.
Case is 950 platinum with dimensions of 36mm diameter by 13mm thick. Sapphire front and display back crystals. "Stepped" lugs. Pump style round chronograph pushers. The case, including the lug steps, is crisp and perfect.
Dial is black with diamond hour markers with silver colored sword style hands.
The perpetual calendar day and month are displayed in apertures below 12 o'clock; the 3 o'clock subdial displays 30 minute chronograph totalizer and leap year indicator; the 6 o'clock subdial displays the date and moonphase; 9 o'clock indicator displays constant seconds and 24 hours time.
Beating inside is the outstanding and prestigious Patek Philippe Caliber CH 27 70 Q with the Geneva Seal proudly stamped on its balance bridge. Technical details: 24 jewels, 353 individual parts; 60 hour maximum power reserve, Gyromax balance beating at 18,000 beats per hour. Movement provides day, date, month, moonphase, leap year, 24 hour indication and chronograph, in addition to the normal 12 hour time.
Strap is a hand-sewn glossy black crocodile with platinum deployant clasp. Watch is indiscernible from new and will be delivered with setting stylus, box and papers.
