Question for Patek Historians, re;3940
Hi All;
Can someone tell me when the ref 3940 QP was discontinued? Were all metals discontinued at the same time?
My guess is 2006 but would like to know a more precise timeline please!
Also would appreciate a link to an online reference article for this coveted piece!
Thanks in advance for the information; much appreciated
