Patek Philippe

looks great Chimaera !

 

I own a 3940g for years and never thought of the watch as a collector piece, it's just simply a watch that hugs my wrist so comfortably in a metal that is so low profile that it sits on it out of the limelight and serves it purpose, love it for what it does. I haven't been following WISdom for sometimes and I have travelled a lot less on biz lately, thus many of my 'biz watches' were either sitting pretty somewhere or they've gone to better homes. But never my 3940, I can't bear to think of a day it leaves me, and I know it never will and I have told my kids it would stay in the family because it's a watch I love most. During times like these, price and exclusivity never really counts, I'm glad I have acquired it years ago and I own it proudly, it's never about status symbol or affordability, I have long forgotten how much I paid for it, I'm just glad it's with me till today and for the longest time to come.


I hope you would treasure and appreciate wearing your gem as much as I do, enjoy.

Mech.

Let me clarify the Patek Philippe "unique dial pieces"

 
By: ImranLondon : May 29th, 2015-12:46
there were a few models 5070g and p 5970g and j 3940g as well as a few others they are all in less than 10 pieces, they were old/case mvt with unique dials so the 3940g for example has a gorgeous rose /salmon dial (like the 5070g and 5970g) the 5970j has ...

... fill in applications, that's a good one :) i saw the 5970G with sunburst grey dial. Looks great, but feels like prototype when you say 5 pcs. 5070P felt like the original model, but you saw it, so you must know better.

But what'bout the others?

I was under the impression that beyond the lemania based pieces, they are also releasing a VERY few: 3940G-029 3940R-027 3940EP-046 5050J-019 5059G-018 5059J-017 5059P-018 5059R-017 Are these also made w/ 'Unique' dials? Funny I was JUST at a dinner last ...

I'm sorry that the picture is not great (does not do justice to the colour) but here is a photo of my 3940g, with salmon dial, which I very happily collected today. ...  

Congrats

looks great in the salmon dial! Would of been cool if they used a first series dial in salmon.

Congratulations!

I know we have a lot of Salmon dial fans here, this is a great watch and layout you acquired. We would love to learn about why you chose it and many pictures too. Don't hesitate to create a new post for nobody misses it when you can :) Cheers, Mark

Congratulations. 3940 is a great PC.

Would love to see some photos in various lighting situations, outdoors, natural, etc. Aloha, Bob

Thank you all...

 
By: Chimaera : July 10th, 2015-10:15
...for your kind words (and welcome). I will try to take some better pics and share. Why did I choose it? I saw it in the austere surroundings of the Napoleon Room of the 175 Exhibtion and began the quest the very next morning. I found the pink to be both... 

Yes the 3940 is a special reference

I saw the Pt version lately, it is so elegant and refined. Thanks a lot for sharing your thoughts about this. Have a good week-end too. Cheers, Mark
