Notes
After the 1930's, the 1970's period probably represented the most creative and unusual period for Patek Philippe watches in terms of shapes, designs and finishes. This thin reference 3588 is a perfect example of this with its engraved bezel and "Chevron" designed dial repeated on its integrated bracelet. Equipped with the automatic caliber 28-255, this example recently found in Japan, impresses by its overall condition showing little wear with a deep punch mark on the back of the case, its integrated bracelet showing almost no stretch and its original certificate.
Provenance
Property of a Japanese Gentleman
