At first I thought it was way too small, but it's growing on me. Lovely watch.

I love the 3970! I could only afford the yellow gold, 3rd series watch, but I really enjoy it. The “Classically Sized” Patek timepieces really speak to me. That watch is not too small, it’s perfect. Congratulations! Mine says “Hello!” ...

It is my favourite perpetual calendar chronograph where the movement fills up the case back so much better than the 5970 and 5270. With the 3970, the question is not if the size is right but rather which metal one should go for?!!

It's all about what you feel wearing it. It happened to me with my 5110, which I considered initially a small watch, but I love wearing it. And in your case, the movement is something else! Enjoy it!

Would not recommend a larger watch for your wrist

I can understand your concern

It looks fine on my wrist in the pics, but when I look at my own wrist (not a camera perspective which often makes the watch appear larger) it does feel small. It's a beautiful watch and (in the crazy Patek world) not priced way over the odds imho, but I ...
