Specialist note

The present example is a very rare specimen of reference 6611B, which was case mostly in 18K gold, with few exceptions in pink gold and platinum. Its attractiveness is further increased by the unusual and sought-after Spanish calendar, and the presence of its original bracelet stamped “3 58” to the clasp, indicating a production in the third trimester of 1958, perfectly matching the watch.
