The Patek Philippe, Reference 3970 reference is launched in 1986. The production of this model began with the Cal. 27-70 Q bearing the serial number 875 000. When Patek Philippe first launched this new series of watches, Ref. 3970 was the model bearing a metallic snap-on case-back, while Ref. 3971 was equipped with a screwed down sapphire case-back. Very soon, the reference number of this model was standardised to Ref. 3970, sold either with one or two screwed down case-backs; one of these backs could be a screwed down metallic case-back, while the second, (non-compulsory), a screwed sapphire crystal case-back. In consequence, very few watches bear Ref. 3971.
