Specialist note

A typical example of 1950s design, the present chronometer watch charms with its cream honeycomb dial, contrasting nicely with the warm pink tone of the case. Its overall original and unpolished condition with a sharp hallmark on the back, as well as the sharp milling on the bezel and back, delight in equal measures.
