Patek Philippe

I bought my Patek 3919J back in 2001 in Singapore. It is a white gold model, but differs from any other 3919 I've ever seen because of two attributes: 1. It has a see through skeleton back 2. The numbers and marks on the watch face are silver colored rath... 

There were some examples of the 3919 produced for the Asian market as you describe. The only ones that I've ever seen have been in white gold and have applied, rather than painted, Roman markers on the dial. The display back makes this model more desirabl... 

Thank you all for your fast thoughts. I'll post pictures soon. And yes, it is confirmed that it is White Gold.

Thank you SRS144. Given that I bought it for only 6K, I feel pretty lucky. It is a great watch that I hope will be able to hand down to my son.
