Specialist note

While Tudor may have called their manual wind chronographs with date and brightly coloured dials by four digit reference numbers, the market quickly gave them the nickname Monte Carlo conjuring up images of the streets of the principality during Grand Prix weekend.

A similar ref. 7159/0 is illustrated and described in Alberto Isnardi's Tudor Anthology pp. 146-149.
