Lot Essay

With Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present watch with silvered dial and applied gold indexes in 1986 and its subsequent sale on 9 September 1986.

According to our researches, the present watch is believed to be the second example of a first series reference 3940 in platinum to appear in public to date.

Reference 3940 was launched in 1985 and remained in production until 2006. The present watch is from the first series, featuring sunk subsidiary dials for the 24 hours display and leap year indicator, as opposed to the even version of later models.

The model is illustrated in Patek Philippe Wristwatches by Martin Huber & Alan Banbery, second edition, pp. 292-293.
