Description
18K gold Patek Philippe perpetual calendar chronograph ref. 3970. An exceptional example of the iconic Patek Philippe reference 3970, this fourth-series piece from 1996 is preserved in outstanding condition. The 18K gold case shows only the lightest signs of wear and retains beautifully sharp lines and edges, reflecting the care with which it has been kept. The dial is absolutely pristine—clean, balanced, and flawless, as expected from one of Patek Philippe’s most celebrated complications. Powered by the legendary manual-winding Caliber CH 27-70 Q, this watch represents the pinnacle of traditional Geneva watchmaking. Originally purchased in northern Italy in February 1996, it is presented on a leather strap with an 18K gold Patek Philippe buckle, completing its timeless and elegant profile. This example comes fully equipped with its original accessories: box, wallet, booklets, double caseback, and original papers—an increasingly rare and desirable ensemble. A superb opportunity to acquire one of Patek Philippe’s most important neo-vintage classics, offered in beautifully preserved condition and complete for the discerning collector.
