As prices begin to surge and scholarship deepens, John Reardon and Tony Traina discuss why the Patek Philippe ref. 3970 is becoming so important as a bridge between vintage and modern for collectors. Collectability is honored that Tony Traina is now a contributor to our website and his first long-form article, A Collector’s Guide to the Patek Philippe Ref. 3970 has already made waves in the watch community. In this lively and informative podcast, John and Tony dive deep into the ref. 3970 article, explaining nuances and sharing new information about this intriguing perpetual calendar chronograph. Tony Traina has written some of the most insightful and interesting articles about the watch industry for leading platforms such as Hodinkee, GQ, Sotheby’s, Revolution and A Collected Man. Tony Traina has recently launched his own newsletter, Unpolished which we highly recommend subscribing to as it contains must-read content that the watch world is not yet looking closely at.
