	The 3525 is Rolex's first Oyster chronograph. Earlier Rolex chronographs existed, but none in a screw-down Oyster case. That makes the 3525 the technical starting point for the later 6034, 6238, and Daytona line. Collectors call it ''Monoblocco'' for the one-piece upper case and ''Barilotto'' for its barrel-like profile.		The 3525 is Rolex's first Oyster chronograph.
