Oh No!
This is most distressing news...
How can Patek Philippe, a guardian of time and tradition decide to end production of this historical piece!
The people of the world need a watch of classic proportions with a Breguet hands/font, enamel dial, and a hidden tourbillon.
This is a very sad day.
Sayonara 3939
gentlemen - it is the end of the road for the 3939. i have confirmation from the appropriate sources. i suppose it is the end of small dials - people are more robust and so business must cater for them.
I also heard that...
Patek stopped the order for 3939! Could anybody guess how many of them are produced in total?

Well...
I suppose the Patek is leaving the room to produce the new 5339R... I agree with you. 3939H is historical. Its fade out because people like the big watches! Haha!
I'm sure they'll keep the tools to make the 3939H...
Hopefully they'll one day be able to take out the tools for the 3939H and start making the 3939H again. I have a grain of hope! The 5127 was reintroduced after a year-long hiatus. I hope they bring back the 3939H!
It used to be that references did not die,
but went into hibernation meaning that they could certainly be re-introduced at a later date. The only pieces I know won't come back are the limited editions...Pagoda, campaign, 10 day power reserve, etc. But quite a lot has changed over the past 30 years...
