Specialist note

This timepiece distinguishes itself for its astonishing condition: unpolished and unworn, the bracelet links are as tight as when the watch left the retailer, and the few marks on the case are most probably the result of storage and handling. The case is defined, in typical 1970s style, by a very angular design highlighted by beveling of nearly every edge. Such details, so subtle that they are usually lost with the first polishing, especially with a gold case, are here perfectly and fully preserved.
