This impressively well-preserved reference 3588/2 notably features a heavy bracelet with a chevron pattern. The dial is particularly interesting as it also displays a textured design with black Breguet numerals. It is important to note that every one of these features are confirmed by the Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives.

The timepiece is preserved in excellent condition with crisp finishes throughout and a deep, legible hallmark on the case back. The texture on the bezel is crisp as are all the facets and edges. Most bracelets from this period are warped due to the wear, however this particular bracelet is preserved in impressive condition and barely shows any signs of wear. It is rigid and remains tight.

To date, no more than four examples of reference 3588/2 have appeared on the market in this configuration, making this example exceptionally rare. Previously offered at the Geneva Watch Auction: X in 2019, the present lot comes directly from the purchaser of that lot, who has kept this example unworn since that time.
