That’s a really good question
Honestly, I think just based on age and how long I’ve owned the 3971, the answer is probably yes. If I had to put it in the “most wrist time” category, I’d say it sits comfortably alongside my Rolex 1675 from 1971 (not originally purchased by me) and my Patek Philippe 5066 Aquanaut. Like most of us here, plenty of other pieces have passed through my collection over the years, but there’s always that core group that sticks around.
Still Unpolished After All These Years: My 3941J Survived 1987, Me, and Every Polish Temptation
Just wanted to share some thoughts and feelings about a watch that continues to win my heart, decades after its debut - the Patek Philippe 3941J with that stunning opaline dial. I picked up my example all the way back in 1987, and every time I wear it, th...

Wonderful shot, wonderful watch and wonderful collector's love song!
Thanks for sharing. Best, Emmanuel
Wonderful this nearly 40 year old beauty.
I fully agree with not polishing a watch and congratulate you for resisting the temptation to polish it for such a long time, the watches after all are not mere shiny bijouterie for us but objects with meaning, so not changing them seems right to me.
Thanks for sharing your journey and feelings with this wonderful watch !
During this long period, has your 3941 received the most wrist time and attention ?

Ppl don’t understand when I say that some watches have a soul.
This one most certainly does. It’s basically perfect. I hope you enjoy it in this condition for many years to come!
