It's a second series from 1988.
Solid back only.
Sapphire backs where on the 3941s and then on the 3940s but only from 1993.
Well, if the Antiquorum's digest is correct ;-)

Hey! Sorry to bother, but I just wanted to share my new cap :-)
Let me explain a little more... I received 2 parcels today : One with a few caps I ordered from 47brand, and another very distinguishing burgundy box, with a name on it I have already heard of... Please, make a stand up ovation to my new 3940j, Italian di...
Huge congratulations. A very elegant and nice PC.
I find it more elegant than the 5140, to tell the truth... Bravo. Nicolas
I totally agree.
The 5140 was too big for my wrist anyway. Didn\'t feel right. Even if it is a gorgeous watch, it\'s not for me. But it\'s always a delight to see a 5140 on someone else .
Thank you Kari.
I\'m sure that\'s why you own a few of them ;-) Collecting the WTs is a thing. Collecting 3940s is just another step ! Haha!
Do you really think that I have not thought about collecting all 3940?
But I'm strong! Best, Kari
It's good to resist
But sometimes it\'s good to let it go ;-) Which PC from your collection is your favourite?
The first impression was positive.
But when wearing 5550P, it starts really to open and "speak loud". It's one of the greatest Patek of last couple of decades. Best, Kari
I never had one in hands
And I know that these pieces are 1m times more charming in real than on a flat picture whatever how good is the picture. Could you help me on a point, I think I meant to get it right, except the leap year. Are we between 3 and 4 or between 4 and 1? ...
According to the watch the 3rd year is in the middle
and next year would be a leap year. Best, Kari
2016 is leap year. In newer 240 Q mechanisms, the numbers 1,2,3,4 are placed 45 degrees ccw.
So in your watch the leap year indicator needle precedes the years. The number 4 is the leap year. My guess is that the earliest 3940 mechanisms had instantaneous leap year indicator. So it made sense the numbers were placed as indicated in your watch. Ho...
Molto molto bene!
Lovely piece, great that it's in Italian! Will look forward to seeing lots of more pictures of it! HAGWE! S
You cannot see the wood for the trees. In that case the cap hides the PP ;-)
You well introduced your new "gift" ;-) Best wishes Alkiro
Class and elegance defined.
Absolutely brilliant choice! Looks like a first generation as well, a true Patek classic. Did this one come with a solid case back only?
