Moreover this watch is really appreciated for its rarity and unusual structure of the caseposed of a single solid piece of metal, also affectionately named “Barilotto” from Italian collectors given the shape of the case which reminds a little barrel. Production of reference 3525 was launched in 1939 and discontinued in 1945, this model was made in stainless steel, yellow and pink gold as well asbined steel and gold (be it yellow or pink). The astounding crisp and original yellow-gold case and the sharp edges of the lugs render this watch one of the nicest examples of this reference with a very nice oxidation which ising to appear on the pushers at two o’clock. On the case back is still crisp and clearly visible in the engraved serial number. The multiscale structure with both tachymeter and telemeter scales, the very rare luminous Arabic and baton numbers such as the hands add more attraction to this watch.Estimate € 50000 - 100000A 20% import VAT is due on the final price including , only if it is delivered within the EU
