Representing the modern era of watchmaking, the reference 3970 is a watch that embodies the traditional value of Patek Philippe. Belonging to the lineage of the maison’s very important perpetual calendar chronograph family, the collection was first introduced toward the end of World War one with the reference 1518, while the reference 3970 was only introduced to the market approximately 40 years later and was in production from approximately 1985 to 2004. Within the 20 years of production, collectors have spotted many significant modifications to the appearance of the 3970, from the hands, to the dial and as well as the case construction due to the quick advancement in the craftsmanship of timepieces. The present watch 3970EP with the “E” implying that the case is waterproof and therefore accompanied with a screw down sapphire crystal display back belongs to part of the later generation of the 3970s as the earliest 3970s were seen with a solid snap-on back, not waterproof.

Housed in a classic-styled round platinum case and a beautifully elongated curved lugs which resembles the early 2499 Vichet-styled case, this watch demonstrates the perfect size for a suit and tie event. Accompanied with a slick black glossy dial and diamond-set numerals, this watch is offered in exceptional overall condition.
