it's a fake
Hi Guys,
The model described as a Patek Philippe Ref. #39701 is a fake. It is a common, cheap, Asian movement that is used in numerous counterfeit watches and there is no Patek Philippe of that reference number to my knowledge (and even if there was, trust me, that one is a fake).
BTW, this thread is very far from the front page of the forum, so most participants and visitors will not see it. If you'd like to solicit more opinions and information, I'd recommend posting a new thread at the top of the forum so you can get the attention of other forum members.

When they introduced the 3970 in the mid 80's there was also a ref. 3971. The 3970 came with a metal back, the 3971 with crystal back. After a while they were replaced by the 3970e, wich comes with both a metal and a crystal back. Regards, Joram

Dear I too have been presented the same watch from my near and dear. I am not in a position to ask him this embarassing question. Please let me know about the genuineness of the model 3970 1W. Thanks.
