With Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming dates of manufacture and sale, presentation box and outer packaging.

The reference 3974 was produced in 1989 to celebrate Patek Philippe's 150th anniversary, the movement of the first model was numbered 1'906'000. The ingenious calibre R 27 Q impresses not only by its remarkable number of 467 parts but also by Patek Philippe's masterly performance of combining a micro-rotor, minute repeating and perpetual calendar mechanisms in a proportionally small 12 1/2''' movement.

The reference 3974 has become a modern classic epitomizing the strengths and wonderful acoustics of Patek Philippe minute repeaters. It was manufactured in very small numbers, less than 5 pieces in platinum have appeared on the market to-date. This sought after reference ceased production in 2002 and it is regarded as one of the most desirable minute repeaters of modern production

Reference 3974 is illustrated in Patek Philippe Wristwatches by Martin Huber & Alan Banbery, second edition, p. 325.
