Notes

This series was produced in yellow, pink or white gold and platinum. Production began in 1989 with the calibre R 27 Q featuring 467 components and bearing the serial number 1906000. The present watch with movement 1906019 is therefore the 20th model of the series. It is a technical exploit to incorporate in a 12 1 /2"' movement a micro-rotor oscillating mass together with a minute-repeating mechanism and perpetual calendar. The first watch of this Ref. 3974 is illustrated in Pateh Philippe Wristwatches, by Martin Huber and Alan Banbery, 1998 Edition, p. 325.
