3970 étanche 2nd series in yellow gold... 36 mm is not sized for today but it has a very good presence on the wrist plus i like the leaf hands ​! unfortunately this is timepiece had a case back, so couldn't take pic of the movement - but i suppose the mov...  

Because of its leaf hands and my small wrist. 36mm is perfectly acceptable for me. Also, I am sucker for all things vintage. But that 5960 is really yummy too.

it does wear bigger / feels more than 36mm on the wrist ! having both would be a blessing ;-)

3970 because it is a PCC

thanks sir !!

No message body

G in good condition would be great find...hope life brings me there !!

and I'm fortunate to have both in my collection. Just in slightly different versions. My grey 5960 is more a daily wearer while my 3970R 3rd series is more for special occasions. Different watches in style and size but for my 17,5 cm wrist both work simpl...  

thanks for sharing...in deed a great pair you've got ! different feel from both the timepieces...36mm fits great on your wrist, very classy. Best, mahesh.,

that tells how much classy gentlemen our purists are

36mm is a very good size for classic timepieces & sure YES for a classic Patek ;-) Best, mahesh.,

that one day Mahesh, you will add this a 3970G or P to your collection!

I love that watch! Have owned one for several years . Classic styling and practical. The 36mm size is excellent.

what i meant is, the successor 5970 was 40mm but carried the same movement as in 3970 !
