PATEK PHILIPPE 3974 R MINUTE REPEATER PERPETUAL AUTOMATIC
ONLY 6 3974R MADE; AUTOMATIC
Price: US $750,000.00
Here is one of Patek Philippe's most important and treasured watches: the minute repeating perpetual calendar reference 3974. Even for watch dealers, the occasion to see and admire such an exceptional horological object as the reference 3974 is rare. As far as minute repeaters are concerned--Patek Philippe is the most hallowed... As far as models are concerned--the 3974 is the most coveted. Automatic...perpetual...and minute repeating--all housed in a massive Calatrava case.
Patek produced the 3974 between 1989 and 1997, and marked Patek's 150th Anniversary. Production was low, and only six 3974s were made in rose gold.
I have heard it said that to understand women, it is better to spend ten years with the same woman, than to spend ten years with a different woman each night. So it is with collecting fine watches. A collector can own hundreds of watches over a lifetime, and not understand horology as well as he or she will by owning one watch as magnificent as this 3974. This particular watch is in a class of its own, even in the Patek world.
Case is polished 18k rose gold with dimensions of 36mm diameter by 12mm thick. Sapphire crystals front and back. Condition is indiscernible from new, with perfect uncompromised steps on the lugs. The case was made by John Pierre Hagman, Patek Philippe's and Geneva's most celebrated and revered case maker. Mr. Hagman is so important and highly regarded that Patek has a "JPH" hallmark used on the cases that he makes. Importantly, JPH did not make all 3974 cases, only a handful of them. The reference 3974 is the last minute repeater watch with JPH cases. Please refer to the picture below of the hallmark on the lug. |
