Notes

Ref. 3940 and 3941 When Patek Philippe first launched this new series of watches in 1985, Ref. 3940 had a metallic clip-on back, while Ref. 3941 was equipped exclusively with a sapphire crystal back. The reference number of this model was soon standardized to Ref. 3940, and was sold with two case backs, except for the platinum model. Consequently, very few examples bear the Ref. 3941
