拍品专文
With Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present watch in 1991 and its subsequent sale on October 8th of the same year. Further accompanied by a Patek Philippe Certificate of Origin dated November 21st, 1991, a suede pouch, and product literature.
To the best of our knowledge this watch has never before been offered in public.
The present reference 3970 is a highly collectable example from within the model's overall production of nearly twenty years. Patek Philippe launched the Reference 3970 in 1986 with a solid snap on back. Shortly thereafter, the 3970 with a solid screw back was added and renamed the 3970E (E for étanche or waterproof). The third series of this reference was produced with a screw back and extra sapphire back. The fourth series was the same as the third series but with a new serial numbers range.
The reference 3970 is illustrated in Patek Philippe Wristwatches by M. Huber and A. Banbery, Second Edition, Page 305.
