Timeless.....
Some watches are timeless: unaware of popular trends and unaffected by the passage of time. This is one of those watches.
Ref. 3970, many times overshadowed by its cousins 2499 and 5970, is arguably Patek’s quintessential perpetual calendar chronograph. Earlier this week I was fortunate to acquire a dream watch a 3970 (second series - the "connoisseurs PCC" some may say) in unworn condition. Many thanks to good friends M, J, G and other members here. I am over the moon!  Classy to the extreme and incredibly wearable....  Details, details, details...  Thanks TRF!

Absolutely stunning! I nearly pulled the trigger a few months back but ended up with a 3940 instead. Might still add a 3970 in the future. I love the 2nd series hands, and love the strap you have on it. Is it a j or r?

Love it! Your old pictures were inspiring. Your 3970 is interesting as it has leaf hands and diamond tip markers. What series is it? Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Congrats!! 3940 is wonderful! This one is a J. Second series Rs are rarer and condition was the more important factor for me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
