The Patek Philippe reference 3945 is much more than a sibling to the celebrated 3940, it is an elegant evolution that captures the spirit of its era through a singular aesthetic choice: the fully integrated gold bracelet. Launched with the 3940 in the mid-1980s, this exceptional variant was produced in far smaller numbers and evokes a distinctly refined presence on the wrist, where complication meets jewellery, and form is inseparable from function. This particular example, dating to circa 1990, is identifiable by its argentè dial and the signature cross-hair divider within the leap-year subdial, subtle in execution, yet emblematic of Patek Philippe’s uncompromising attention to detail. Encased in warm yellow gold, the case’s fluid lines melt seamlessly into the woven links of its integrated bracelet, creating a tactile sensation of weightless sophistication. With its micro-rotor caliber 240Q beating silently within, the watch remains a technical marvel of thinness and mechanical efficiency, offering a perpetual calendar with moonphases in a case of extraordinary finesse. Offered with its Certificate of Origin dated June 14, 1990, literature, registry papers, invoice and folio, the present watch is a time capsule of Patek Philippe’s golden era of modern classicism. Beyond its rarity and pedigree, the reference 3945 represents a connoisseur’s choice, an alternative expression of one of the most admired perpetual calendars ever made, draped in elegance and finished with enduring restraint.
