Specialist Notes

Produced from 1939 until 1942 circa, reference 3529 was at that time the smallest chronograph ever manufactured. According to our researches, less than 70 pieces have been made in total, making this model an absolute rarity. The cases, made primarily in yellow gold or stainless steel, were produced in rose gold too, but in much more limited quantities; the watch proposed in this catalogue features one of the most sought-after configurations by collectors, with a rose gold case and salmon coloured dial. The signature of the Milanese retailer Verga adds another layer of collectibility to the piece.
