Considered as one of Patek Philippe’s greatest grand complications, the reference 3939 gives the word “elegance” a brand new definition. Equipped within the watch are two of the most coveted complications, consisting of a magnificently delicate tourbillon and an astoundingly sophisticated minute repeater that chimes with a clear resonance tone. Its white enamel dial is nice and intact, finished with absolute perfection and offered in pristine condition.
Furthermore, it is interesting to note that the present watch bears a movement number ending with 002, indicating that it is the second reference 3939 made for commercial distribution.
