Specialist note

The present timepiece is an exceedingly rare example of a "monochrome pink" Day-Date. The warm hue of the pink gold case overflows onto the dial and even on the day and date disc, granting to this timepiece a bewitching exotic warmth. No only this combination is extremely attractive, but it is furthermore one of the rarest that can be found on this model. Icing on the cake is the stunning condition of the timepiece which sports an extremely well preserved case and a superbly original dial.
