Description
I sincerely believe the Patek Philippe 3940 is the nicest perpetual calendar by any manufacturer ever. When you think about a perpetual in your mind, this is what it looks like. Classic, legible, balanced and beautiful.

The Patek Philippe reference 3940 perpetual calendar was produced from 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.

Silver “sigma” dial is original and untouched. Applied golden hour markers, embossed minutes chapter and wonderful golden dauphine hands. The 3 o’clock subdial displays month and leap year, 6 o’clock subdial displays moonphase and date, 9 o’clock subdial displays day and 24 hour time.

Case is 18k yellow gold with dimensions of 35mm diameter by 8.5mm high. Case back is solid gold. Case is in mint condition.

Movement is the automatic winding Patek Philippe Caliber 240 Q with 27 jewels, 48 hour power reserve, 22k micro rotor, 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 vintage black Patek strap.

This Patek Philippe 3940 has its Certificate dated by the authorized retailer in 1991 and includes Patek box, wallet with original 3940 brochure, original hangtag, small-format original Certificate and other documents and setting stylus.
