Patek Philippe 3940G Perpetual Calendar 18K White Gold Silver Dial

The Patek Philippe 3940G-015 stands as a significant reference in the grand lineage of perpetual calendar wristwatches. Introduced in 1985, the 3940 was Patek Philippe’s answer to the quartz crisis, exemplifying the brand’s commitment to mechanical excellence and technical artistry. Crafted in elegant 18K white gold, the case measures a refined 36mm in diameter with a svelte thickness of just 9mm, highlighting the ultra-thin automatic caliber 240Q movement with its signature micro-rotor in 22K gold. The silver dial is a hallmark of classic Patek style—balanced, harmonious, and immediately legible, featuring tastefully arranged perpetual calendar subdials. The reference is lauded for its groundbreaking movement, which integrates a perpetual calendar within an exceptionally slim case, a technical achievement that sealed its status as a benchmark for all calendar complications to follow. A favorite among both seasoned collectors and industry insiders, the 3940 maintains relevance and cachet decades after its debut. With approximately 7,000 pieces produced across all metals, the 3940G-015 is revered for its timeless lines and impeccable mechanical pedigree, securing its place as a cornerstone in the history of complicated watchmaking.
