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 today 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. The fun of identifying the production year based on these differences in details is one of the charms of this generation.

To fit into the compact 36mm case, 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" with a micro-rotor, which makes the watch extremely thin.
Even among the already limited number of "Ref. 3940" watches in circulation, the platinum case version is particularly rare, and combining practicality and artistry, it is a watch that is truly coveted by collectors.

The watch's greatest appeal 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, and the combination of the platinum case and bracelet adds a touch of luxury.
