Day 3: Patek Philippe 3970 Perpetual Calendar Chronograph



Patek Philippe is arguably the best watch maker in world. It's the largest independantly owned manufacturer of swiss timepieces and is still owned by the same family. It takes a master watchmaker 6 months to complete just one from start to finish. Everything is hand-crafted and assembled and backed by more than 150 years of watch knowledge. That's why they cost more than most third-world countrys' gross national products. Owning one is like owning a Picasso: you know it's a sound investment. This manual wound 3970 is out of production which means that its going to become more and more hard to find, which ultimately means, its going to be worth a lot of money. Plus it has a moon phase telling you the phase of the moon during the month. The moon. On a watch. I know this is nothing new, but
man...precision, people! Enjoy.

Specs:
• Movement: Mechanical
• Case: 18KT White Gold
• Case Size: 36.4mm
