When reference 2303 was launched in the mid-1920s, the model was advertised as "the smallest chronograph in the world". It was commonly available in stainless steel, 14k and 18k gold. Interestingly, the present watch is in 9k gold and makes it a rare and sought-after model for discerning collectors.
