Specialist note

It is interesting to mention that for unknown reasons, the present watch was made without subsidiary seconds despite the fact that caliber 27 AM 400 would foresee such a function. Its large dial is in excellent condition, the sunburst silver complimenting the clean black manufacturers signature and designation of 'Amagnetic' in script. Furthermore, the present watch is possibly unpolished. On closer inspection, it seems as if this watch was never worn. With crisp lugs, a sharp case, and a beautiful dial, it is an exceptional example.
