Patek Philippe

Hello Patek connoisseurs, Ever since I acquired my vintage 2551, I have been bit by the Patek bug. My next target is most likely the 3940. I simply love the look of the watch. It seems to encapsulate the brand. Is there a perceived difference in the colle...  

Your enthusiasm for the 3940. I wore one as my Dailey watch for about 10 years before I moved on to something a bit bigger and easier to read ( the Patek Philippe 5320g). Truth of the matter is that I still miss my 3940 from time to time. There are other ... 

Which version of the 3940 did you own?

I wear a 3941G from 1989 most work days. It’s a great daily wearer assuming a slightly more formal environment. And it’s an inconspicuous piece so it doesn’t attract attention. Pricing is clearly highest for the first series, but I think the second and th... 

Beautiful watch. ...  

It looks great on your wrist and it will surely bring you years of joy !!

I recently bought a 1st series 3940. I have several Patek’s, but always cherished the 3940 for it’s perpetual complications packed beautifully in a small size case. It. was the favorite watch of Henri Stern……I think the 3940 is a beautiful time piece and ...
