Throwback Thursday: Patek Philippe Reference 3974

Patek Philippe's history is a constant stream of highlights, particularly when looking at their more complicated pieces.

The reference 3974 holds a special place in this, as it was the very first perpetual calendar with a minute repeater, powered by an automatic movement.
