It is the purest expression of the manufacture's philosophy: that the highest form of watchmaking is restraint executed to an absolute standard. The reference 3520 is a cornerstone of the collection, introducing the iconic \"Clous de Paris\" or hobnail bezel in 1973, a design choice that became a signature for the model line. This reference embodies the Bauhaus principle of form following function, where every unnecessary element is stripped away, leaving only perfect proportion and flawless execution.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Complete Set, Exceptionally Preserved\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis example from 1983 is notable for its excellent state of preservation and completeness. It retains its original Patek Philippe caseback sticker, a small but significant detail for collectors that points to a careful history. The watch is accompanied by its original box and certificate of authenticity, printed in the same year the watch was produced. Finding a reference 3520 from this period with its original papers and sticker intact is increasingly difficult, making this a standout example for a discerning buyer.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWell Preserved With Original Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis watch is in good condition. The 18k gold case is well preserved, and the hobnail bezel remains crisp. The dial is clean, and the watch is fitted with its original strap and signed Patek Philippe buckle.
