Catalogue Note
The reference 3842 was produced between 1983 and 1998 and belongs to the Gondolo collection. The construction of the case is unusual as it is made of two pieces and secured by a screw to the case back. This example is particularly attractive with the elegant combination of a yellow gold case and matching applied Breguet numerals.
