3940 with black dial?
Hi there
I am new to this forum and have been reading it for a few months now. Very informative and enjoyable!
I have a peculiar obsession with perpetual calendars with a black dial. I absolutely love the 5038 from the late 90s, which I assume preceded the 3940. Does anyone know whether Patek plans to launch any of the perpetual calendar models in a black dial?
Many thanks.
