Case Size: 36mm

Movement: Hand-Wound Mechanical

Sellers Comments:

I am offering my Patek RG3970 Perpetual Calendar/Chronograph for sale. The watch comes with all boxes/papers (stamped 2004 from Gubelin Geneva), as well as the second back (unused) and push tool. The watch has been worn very rarely and there are only minor surface imperfections. The original brown strap is 100% (I use a third-party strap and buckle), and comes with both RG deployant and tang buckles.

I and the watch are located in Tokyo, Japan. Depending on your location (i.e., Asia) , I may be able arrange to deliver the watch to you personally.

I need to sell the watch ASAP to finance my latest dream watch (Urwerk!!), and this price is pretty much as low as I can go. If the watch doesn't sell at this price, it will be sold to a used dealer soon.

If you have been waiting for a PP3970, this is a great opportunity to snatch one up at retail. The watch is priced thousands below all the other RG3970s I have seen recently, often with far less desirable providence.

I am a long-time Purist and have numerous references selling and buying. I can also email pictures of the actual watch/boxes/papers to serious buyers. Thank you for reading.

Serious buyers please contact me at stultus77 @ yahoo.com

📖 About This Reference

The Patek Philippe reference 3970 is a perpetual calendar chronograph, a complication central to the brand's heritage. It succeeded the highly regarded reference 2499 and served as a bridge to the later reference 5970. The 3970 was produced over an extended period, allowing for several series and subtle variations in its design, making it a significant model for collectors interested in the evolution of Patek Philippe's complicated wristwatches. This reference features a 36mm case, commonly found in 18k white gold, yellow gold, rose gold, and platinum. It is powered by the manual-wind caliber CH 27-70 Q, based on a Lemania ébauche, which offers a power reserve of 60 hours. The watch is fitted with a sapphire crystal, protecting a dial that typically includes subdials for the chronograph, perpetual calendar displays, and moon phases. The 3970 appeals to collectors seeking a classic Patek Philippe perpetual calendar chronograph with a traditional aesthetic and a historically important movement. Its long production run from 1986 to 2004 means that examples from different series, such as the first, second, and third, exhibit minor differences in dial layout and case details, providing distinct collecting opportunities within the reference.
