The 3971 was supplied only with an open back, the
3970 was supplied only with a closed back. It was later when both backs were supplied with the 3970.
The same applied to the 3940 and 3941, then later both backs supplied.
There were fewer 3941's and 3970's produced than the 3940's or 3970's.
My 3971's first public outing since back from Patek service.
This photo must also be one of my better wristshots. Regards Rene...
Very happy for you, and to see that it now on your wrist. Superb.
Did you test your love for it during its absence? Did you miss it a lot? Tell us all! Best, René. Nicolas.
I had my 5960P to keep me company
One year is a test of patience LOL. But now it is time to enjoy my 3971. Still deciding whether to get a 5970 or a 5070P as I changed my mind on the 5270G. Regards Rene
Nice program! ;)
As you already have an Auto Annual Calendar Chrono, and a PC Chrono, maybe it is time to get a manual " simple " Chrono? What a trio it will make! Can't wait for your family picture. All the best. Nicolas.
3970 vs 3971 ?
sorry to ask but what is the difference between 3970 and 3971 ? Thanks
3971 = 3970 - solid back + transparent back
But there are much fewer 3971s than 3970s. Surely a precious and collector's piece!
