A little something special I'd completely forgotten to share - a first series 3970 with original two tone dial and snap back solid case back. A dream of a watch ! Thanks to my bro that would rather remain unnamed for helping me acquire this piece <3 Do we...  

Enjoy. M.

PP is the master of chrono / PC complication, absolutely superb. And a series I in this condition is just a dream, I LOVE these leaf hands. Huge congrats, enjoy it and wear it in the best of health! Mike

Excellent idea, a 3448 would complete your 3970 very nicely. Maybe 3448 in white gold for avoiding any overlapping with colored case. What do you think ? Good idea no ? Btw I forgot to congratulate you on the choice of the strap : it is just perfect class... 

When I come to think of it why not rose gold ?! Haha ! I think yellow gold would be a great start, maybe one day I can explore white gold yes but not for the moment unfortunately...

a beautiful J version is just sublime. An early version just like you with this sublime 3970 has an incredible charm. It is almost the same as a later version but it is another watch totally, the details make a huge difference.

This smaller sized case (by today’s standards) packs a big punch 🥊!

That one is *dreamy*! Congratulations!

Indeed I was struggling, couldn't figure out how to rotate them, thanks again !

and keep it in a time capsule? She's gorgeous! Enjoy and thanks for sharing!

To have a watch as beautiful as a 3970 and to not wear it is just wrong. I have a 3rd. Series 3970 in yellow gold and it works great as a “Dailey Wearer.“. Now, if I had an excellent example of a 3970 1st Series..... I would not wear it every day, but I w... 

For daily wear though I don't use the 3970, a little too precious, but from time to time for special occasions or day when I won't be too active it's perfect ! Thankyou very much Ivan5 and baufoam !

Baufoam, I know what you mean about wearing the 3970 regularly; I wonder about doing the same with mine. I don't know your collection, so perhaps your 3970 is one of your less expensive timepieces (in which case good for you!), but for now it's my most ex... 

enjoy in the best health....love the dial & the leaf hands !! Best, mahesh.,

Looking for another now ! haha, maybe the snap sapphire ?

What brand is it? Best. René

The strap was made by Camille Fournet in Paris

The appearance of the first series is truly more classic than my beloved 3rd series. Both are extremely lovely.

Is this the watch from auction last year?

No, this isn't the watch from Sotheby's - that one is off in the USA I believe

Thank you for the kinds words !

Kudos to you as well as your friend for the acquisition. I hope you enjoy it to its fullest.
