Constantly in production until the present day, this dynasty was born in 1941 with the legendary 1518 replaced only a few years later by the equally iconic 2499 (in 1950). This model remained in production for about 35 years when Patek decided to renew the style of this special object giving rise to the reference 3970. Introduced in 1986 until around 2004 (when it was replaced by 5970 and later by 5270) what distinguished it from the previous model was the Lemania movement instead of Valjoux and the size that fell to 36 mm in diameter. The Patek Philippe 3970 here offered is entirely made of platinum with a bracelet also in platinum and an astonishing black diamond-set dial. Preserved in astonishing conditions with sharp hallmarks to the side of the lugs and provided with its original warranty, box and solid case back, the present specimen is definitely special and a must-have for every collector of complicated wristwatches.
