Notes

Property of the original Spanish owner
Reference 3940 was the first modern perpetual calendar launched after the 3448/3450 and production continued until 2006. A testament to its success and timeless design, it is no surprise that it was for a long time, worn daily by Mr. Philippe Stern. This example was made in the last years of production and has been kept in excellent condition with all its accessories.
