Lot Essay

Highly attractive and ideally preserved, the present chronograph is part of the second series of the reference 3970. One of the first waterproof versions, the chronograph features a glazed display screw back, which explains the unusual case maker hallmark stamped to the outer lug, due to the lack of space a plain case back would have provided.

Sharp and clear, the gold hallmarks attest of the excellent condition of the wristwatch.
