Specialist note

The present watch is an attractive example of the Autavia GMT ref. 2446C featuring a red and blue bezel mirroring the famed “Pepsi” bezel found on the Rolex GMT-Master. It is a "First Execution" Autavia 2446C GMT, distinguished by the polished steel hands with luminous inserts, smaller registers, white chronograph hand and designation "T" above "SWISS" in the hour register. The rare original Gay Frères bracelet, stamped 2.69 for second quarter of 1969, enhances the overall appeal of the watch.
