Note du spécialiste

The present piece is a remarkably well preserved example of reference 3725. The dial especially survived its 80 years of age without any kind of cosmetic intervention, developing in the meantime a fascinating champagne patina which underlines and amplifies the vintage allure of this early automatic wristwatch
