Patek Philippe Perpetual Calendar Reference 3940 In 18K Yellow Gold

Iconic Swiss watchmaking manufacturer, Patek Philippe of Geneva, made history in 1925 for creating the world’s first perpetual calendar wristwatch. The reference 3940 perpetual calendar is an outstanding example of the firm’s unparalleled watchmaking tradition and artistry.

Displaying both extraordinary complexity, beauty, and function, the perpetual calendar astounds as one of horology’s grand complications. The timepiece features a staggering 27 jewel movement and accounts for all deviations in each month, day, date, and leap year, holding the mechanical memory of four years. In further mechanical complexity, the watch displays the moon’s phases at the 6 o’clock dial. The complex mechanism is adjusted to 5 positions, heat & cold isochronism for accuracy, and is water-resistant to 25 meters. The timepiece features a classic silvered dial and displays the time on elegant gold baton markers and hands.

The impressive movement is housed within a timeless 18K yellow gold case, with elegant tapered lugs and a stylish beveled case design. A sapphire display back showcases the impressive movement, finishing the watch perfectly. A truly momentous addition for any new or seasoned watch collector.

This outstanding timepiece bears a complete restoration and an 18-month warranty.
