What I love — Wonderfully preserved full set, complete with the often-misplaced spare case back and a charming handwritten note from the Geneva boutique sales assistant at the time of purchase. The watch remains in excellent condition, with hallmarks still visible on the case side and a beautifully preserved dial.
The dial itself plays wonderfully with the light — shifting from bright silver to a deeper tone depending on the angle — while the display back reveals a movement that is a constant delight!
It is unusual to encounter early white-metal examples, as most surfaced later in the Ref. 3940 production run. Personally, I have a soft spot for these early pieces, with their sharp, vintage-esque typography that evokes classic Patek charm. The original pin buckle completes this superb and characterful set
What you should know — Case hallmarks have been polished in the past although still visible (very common for early 3940). The dial has a tiny blemish near the L of JUL in the 3 o’clock sub dial.
