Patek Philippe 3945/001 Perpetual Calendar 18K Yellow Gold DORE Dial RARE

The Patek Philippe reference 3945/001 is a distinguished perpetual calendar wristwatch introduced in the late 1980s as a refined variant of the iconic Ref. 3940, distinguished by its integrated 18k yellow gold bracelet and lugless case design. Powered by the ultra-thin automatic Caliber 240 Q with a 22k gold micro-rotor, this model delivers perpetual calendar functions with moonphase, leap-year, 24-hour, day, date, and month indications in a remarkably slim 9 mm case profile. The rare Doré dial, a warm dark champagne tone officially produced by Patek Philippe, harmonizes with the gold case and bracelet, offering a seamless and elegant aesthetic that is highly coveted by collectors. Produced in limited numbers alongside the standard silvered versions, the Doré dial variant is especially sought after for its rarity and subtle sophistication. The integrated bracelet enhances the watch’s architectural coherence and luxurious presence on the wrist. As part of Patek Philippe’s modern classic era, the 3945/001 exemplifies the brand’s mastery of mechanical refinement, understated elegance, and collector appeal, making it a compelling choice for connoisseurs of haute horlogerie. Excellent Condition with Patek Philippe box, original papers with a sale date in 1992, and Extract from the Archives with a manufacture date in 1990.
