Specialist note

With its silvered matte dial and black subsidiary dial combined with a black bezel with tachymetre scale, the present watch has a Daytona-esque look. The appeal of the watch is further accentuated by the beautiful condition of its dial.

The same model, but with black dial and white subsidiary dials, is illustrated in Universal Genève Watch by Pietro Giuliano Sala, p. 355.
