When the CEO of a brand makes is choice of wristwear, people take note. It’s no surprise to us then that Philippe Stern chose a yellow gold 3940! This is a stunning example of the reference in yellow gold that features the second series dial and comes complete with an extract from the Patek archive. We truly love the opaline dial with beaded minute track and dauphine hands – the look is so refined!

The star of the show is the perpetual calendar movement. At the height of the quartz crisis that decimated the Swiss watch industry, Patek released these watches with perpetual calendar complications in 36 mm cases. The beautifully proportioned case is in superb condition has this example has a solid case back and clear hallmarks on the case side. The calendar is in English and the watch comes with an archive extract that confirms the watch was made in 1990 and sold in 1991. The watch is fitted with the pictured leather strap that has a Wenger-made Patek buckle in 18kt gold and also comes with a used original Patek leather strap. The automatic movement, calibre 240Q with micro rotor in 22kt gold, has been fully checked and regulated by our watchmaker.

A current super-hot trend is the neo-vintage watch on leather strap, and we believe we have the pinnacle of such a watch here with this stunning Patek Philippe. Please get in touch to discuss this watch with us!
