Catalogue Essay
Extremely attractive and well-preserved, the present ref. 3940 is part of the last series produced from 1998 until its end of the production in 2007. Delivered with a upgrade of a sapphire caseback where the Geneva sealed calibre 240 Q is exhibited, the series also came with an additional caseback. Encased in a warm pink gold case, the present timepiece retaining a sigma dial bearing a movement of 3’125’XXX and a case serial of 4’130’XXX belongs to the 2002 production. According to research, the third series were available in yellow, pink, white gold and platinum, amongst them approximately 660 examples were made in pink gold out of a total production on only 2,200 pieces. A reference that wears with class and sophistication on the wrist, the present ref. 3940R with crisp hallmarks and stunning dial is not only a fresh-to-the-market example, it is also complete with its Certificate of Origin, solid caseback, and original sale accessories.
