Specialist note

Most unusually, the present watch is offered with a pink gilt dial. Beyond the black glossy surface we can see the signature, numerals as well as tachymeter scale glowing with a rich rose color which is furthermore distinguished with the "waffle" guilloché chapter ring. This is a rare and extremely attractive vintage Breitling chronograph.
