Surprised at just how nice a 1960s 3520 wears

I never would have thought I would ever wear a 33mm watch. After all, my wrist is pretty large at 8.1" and I genuinely thought that 36mm would perhaps be the smallest I would ever go. How wrong I was... That said, I suppose the larger 18mm lug width helpe

Manual Wind 3520D

You might consider adding one of these to your collection. I always wear it with a white shirt: sometimes T-shirt, usually dress shirt.

The Cartier for sure

For the 3520 I am not sure. The inital calatrava did not have the Clous de Paris bezel and it sport the PP 175/177 ultra-thin caliber that is the Patek version of the Frederic Pigue 21 caliber. That by itself is nothing bad, actually equipped with Gyromax

Thoughts on Two Simple Watches—Are They Classics?

Please share your thoughts on these two simple watches: the Patek 3520D and the Tank Louis Cartier. Although both have only two hands and although many are in circulation, IMHO each of them has earned a spot in the book of horological classics. Both the C

ENJOY WHAT YOU OWN

That is most important. My three PP's are currently about 20% of my ownership. My first was purchased in Nice, in 1971(3520D, still enjoyable to wear). 5110J, and 3710 1A, are more recent, and are a joy to wear as well.

A gentleman’s forever classic

this month is the 48th birthday of my 3520D. Purchased in Nice three blocks from the Negresco. Manual wind. No seconds, no date, 33mm. My thinnest watch. The hobnail bezel and the white enamel, black Roman numerals are special. Enjoy it......

5575 Exquisite WT

I would wonder if in the deep catacombs of the PP design studios if thoughts have surfaced (prototypes perhaps) of an additional face background of 'midnight navy'??--- Frustrated designer, and PP owner since 1971 (3520D was my first). Steve

The slimmest calibre

for Patek Philippe on a manual wind watch is the calibre 177 which can be found in the discontinued 3520D and also a ref which I love in rose gold at 32mm with Breguet hands and numerals. Sorry I cannot recall the reference. The slimmest automatic Patek i
