Specialist note

The present timepiece fascinates the beholder with its outstanding condition of case and dial: both of them preserved superbly - the case most probably unpolished - and with no signs of intervention. The multi-scale black dial is a detail which is certain to fascinate connoisseurs of early chronograph wristwatches, especially in such pristine condition.
