I have always gone directly to Patek Philippe
in New York for service. For a 3940 they would take 16 to 22 weeks to fully service and maintain the watch. It’s a lot of work and from what they tell me, there are only a very few people that can service one of their perpetual calendars. The cost of servicing a 3940 through Patek is quite expensive. In my experience , it has been worth the money and the long wait.

In my experience
The prices quoted on the Patek website run rather notoriously low. By the time your 3940 has gone through the full maintenance regime that they will recommend, it’s gonna cost right in the neighborhood of $3000.
A tad high, hopefully
That seems high for normal service. $1.800 is about right absent more serious issues. Here the watch is old and been overdue for service for many years. What toll that has taken remains to be seen.
2 Choices..... Service by Patek or put it away in the safe......
Hello, Very important to service a Perpetual via Patek only..... the watch will need 20+ replacement cogs/wheels/small parts...... only Patek has access to this inventory..... Using a 3rd party independant is ok for a stock Rolex or simple Omega...... but...
