Congrats! One of Patek's most classic perpetual calendars.
Totally under the radar in platinum and with this stealth form factor. Only the knowledgeable few will notice and appreciate this great piece. The ultimate in stealth luxury--just the way I like it.
Cheers,

A 3940p joining the collection
After months of impatiently waiting, I've finally brought this piece home. Here it is with a new pair of custom dark brown straps that in my mind balances against its overall coldness. While I usually gravitate towards independents, I was sold by the argu...

Love this watch
One of the truly classic Pateks, from a time when they cared about keeping case size down. It's incredible how slim and compact this watch is. Even though I don't think I would get much use out of a calendar complication, I keep coming back to this watch,...
I was looking at white metal versions...
as it'd be more practical for my daily rotation. The wg has a display caseback which my pt doesn't. But I do enjoy the slight extra weight and the warmness of platinum. So that's the decision for me. Ken
Lovely piece Ken
What way to start a Patek collection A real classic I have been eyeing one myself but so far have not found one yet Thanks Julian
Beautiful!
An iconic Patek. And don't forget that Patek IS an independent, even if we don't always think of it that way!
Great point about Patek being an independent.
Thanks Brandon. Not that being independent is be-all end-all, but this is interesting indeed. Ken
Congratulations. You did well buying it. In corporate attire you will look good and credible.
My opinion. The 3940p is a winner. Geross .
Great Choice
I have worn a 3940 for many years as my daily watch. I love it! Very much a low- profile, wonderfully enjoyable timepiece.
Congrats on the 3940
Reference Indie collecting, it's all about balance. Don't think one should be pigeon holed into "just a xxxx collector". If the horological properties of a watch is good, it should be considered. I also have a biased slant to Indies, but I still buy brand...
Completely agree with your comment
Thanks for the great reminder, Horo. Balance is key. It seems easier to fall for the romanticism of indies where the watchmakers' heart and soul are laid out in front of you, while it requires more effort to dissect the perceived value of brands' offering...
Congratulations!
In my opinion this is the perfect starting point to establish a collection of Patek. The 3940 is the perfect dress watch for who does not like a time only watch but wants something more, but always maintaining a low profile. This is one of the most classi...
Hi Ken, congrats and this is quite an entry into the "Patek" world!
A warm welcome and now that you have been bitten, we look forward to your future Pateks! Cheers, Gordon
Congratulations!
That's a reference with great complication and elegance. Very beautiful choice. Enjoy it well and thanks for sharing Best, Mark
