Made in 1983, the present iteration of the reference 3800 contains the signature of Beyer, a notable Zurichbased retailer. Beyer has been selling and repairing watches for more than 250 years. The neighboring Patek Philippe boutique is also managed by Beyer. The Beyer designation is placed above the 6 o’clock, signifying the remarkable provenance and rarity of the watch. Extremely stunning and irresistibly eye-catching, this particular example is housed in a beautifully crafed yellow gold case. The diamond-set indexes further bestow an unmissable aura of grandeur and sophistication upon the timepiece. Preserved in overall excellent condition, the present watch is a must-have item for any savvy collectors. To our best knowledge, it is the very frst time we see a yellow gold set 3800-1J with Beyer’s dial.
