Launched in 1985 and in production for over 20 years, the reference 3940 is one of the most popular perpetual calendars, thanks to its ultra-thin case and excellent dial layout. Showcasing a half yellow subsidiary dial for 24 hours indication, the present 3940 is believed to be a 2nd series, produced from 1988 to 1998. Discontinued in 2007 and replaced by the reference 5140, the reference 3940 is considered a timeless classic among collectors.
