Lot Essay

This endangered species strap is shown for display purposes only and is not for sale. The watch will be supplied with a calf leather strap.

The present ref. 3940 is from the first series of the model and distinguished by the German calendar, confirmed by the Extract from the Archives.

Well preserved for such an early example, the back of the case still bears the Patek Philippe International Customer Service sticker from a previous clean and overhaul.
