Description
While 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 "to die for" timepiece. Even moreso this 3970, because its case is platinum and its black dial is tastefully embellished with diamond hour markers.
Case is 950 platinum with dimensions of 36mm diameter by 13mm thick. Sapphire crystal. The case back on the watch is the display back with sapphire crystal. "Stepped" lugs with crisp edges. Pump style round chronograph pushers.
Dial is black with diamond hour markers and white gold baton 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 Patek Philippe alligator with platinum deployant clasp. Watch is like new and will be delivered with stylus, Patek box, Extract from the Archives and booklets.
