Does anyone have an idea of total production numbers for these Patek Lemanias in white metals?

Sure. 1000 5070g and 750-800 5970g is the figure I most see in each case give or take.

Great thread. Do you happen to know the production numbers for the 3970 1,2 and 3 series? The first series and second series were produced in limited numbers. 3 series had the most production.
Thank you

Thanks. Based on my research there is less of a consensus re: production numbers of 3970 but it had a long production run (1986-2014) and hence most seem to believe there are 4k total.

That being said, 1st series 3970 with the snap on caseback are rare with only 100 examples being produced. 2nd series was made during 1986-1991 and I haven't seen anyone state with certainty how many they believe were produced, but my guess is 600 (a number I arrive at by guessing Patek made approx. 150 3970s per year and 150 x 4 years of production = 600). I think many people believe 1/2nd series 3970s have great potential as they have significant and very beautiful defining characteristics as compared to the later 3970s.

Superb. Thank you very much. I love the dial in the 3970. I must try the watch in sometime to see how the 36mm size is. Should be fine.
