3. [Patek Philippe] Perpetual Calendar "Ref. 3940P"

The Ref. 3940, which was released in 1985, is a masterpiece that represents Patek Philippe's perpetual calendar and remains highly popular to this day. The Ref. 3940 is classified into three generations, from the first to the third, and the one we are introducing here is the third generation.

The third generation was produced from 1989 onwards, and is characterised by a line separating the leap year numerals on the subdial at 3 o'clock. Early production examples also feature a darker colour between 6 o'clock and 6 o'clock on the 24-hour counter at 9 o'clock. These differences in detail make it fun to identify the production year, which is unique to this generation.

The case measures 36mm, and the dial features three well-balanced subdials that clearly display information such as the month, day of the week, date, and moon phase. The movement is the automatic "Cal. 240 Q Auto." with a micro-rotor, which allows for a slim design.
The Ref. 3940 is already rare, but the platinum case version is especially rare. Combining practicality and artistic value, it is a watch that collectors will adore.

The greatest attraction is the vivid depiction of the Earth as seen from the North Pole in the center of the dial, making it truly a one-of-a-kind work of art. Patek Philippe's traditional cloisonné enamel decoration exudes a special presence.
The movement is the in-house automatic "Cal. 240 HU," and the see-through back allows you to enjoy the thin mechanism with a micro-rotor and beautiful finish.
