At that time, it was the slimmest automatic perpetual calendar wristwatch ever produced and its stepped tonneau-style case immediately became iconic among watches’ lovers. Featuring a circular-shaped case, reference 3940 had a decidedly more “modern” and less angular appearance than its predecessor and has always been considered as the quintessential perpetual calendar with moon phases and distinguished by its timeless elegance but the lot here offered is absolutely remarkable for its qualities and features. An instant classic, the reference was cased predominantly in yellow gold, as well as pink gold, white gold and very rarely and exclusively, in platinum which means that the present specimen is extremely desirable considering the gorgeous condition of its case. The second series dial has the configuration with sunken subsidiary dials, quarter division for the leap year and shows no evident signs of use. Sold with its full set, this absolutely exceptional 3940 in platinum has a massively high level of desirability and exclusivity for collectors and lovers.Estimate € 50000 - 100000
