Dreams are made of this... ( Credit picture: Christies ).
I would easily and happily let 10 of my pieces go for that one. A milestone in a collection.

Patek Philippe 3970P Salmon.

Perhaps the first time I would choose differently than you.
For me, Patek calendar complications look better without Breguet numerals. They make the dials too busy and crowded, I think.
Lovely dial colour and case.
I also prefer baton dials. I’m not a fan of the hands style either. They match the dial colour as do the sub dial hands. Would prefer the hands to contrast. So NICO my friend it’s got your name on it. Very rare bird for sure. M.
Right now I am liking salmon dials with applied black numerals...

Rare bird indeed Nicolas !

It is interesting to note the auction catalogue lost essay described this watch as an "unusual and very rare platinum perpetual calendar chronograph" and didn't describe it as a

Stunning and unique piece I would imagine
From the devil himself ? Hope you are keeping safe Julian

I would honestly not change a single detail from the photo except maybe a bespoke strap to add a "touche personnelle" 😉😁
wow
these special dial 3970 are always a marvel... one wonders whether it is rare to the eye that the beauty stands out or whether it is due to the fact that the standard dials are less appealing regardless. My personal favorite is the white metal with black ...
