Patek Philippe
Ref. 3939
An extremely rare and highly important platinum minute repeating tourbillon wristwatch with enamel dial, Breguet numerals, original certificate, additional case back and fitted presentation box
Full-Cataloguing
The watch is fitted with a tourbillon and minute repeating mechanism, finished with a white enamel dial and applied Breguet numerals. The present watch is from the later series of 3939s and fitted with the larger crown that was introduced to prevent over winding the mechanism. By today's standards, the watch has a petite case diameter measuring at 33 millimetres. However, this applies a level of sophistication and refinement to the watch and its appeal and demand will only continue to grow in the future.
In exceptional condition and repeating in phase with a beautiful tone and clarity, the watch is complete with all accessories.
