Catalogue Note
Reference 3800 was produced from 1981 until 2006 in four different series. The present watch belongs to the 1st series bearing the calibre 335 SC. In addition to its early production our research demonstrate that only a dozen model of reference 3800-3 has been identified to the market from which less than half with a gilt dial. Finally, this example is to be considered as very rare among collectors as it is only the second time this reference is seen with matching cufflinks in a public auction.
