Notes

A wonderful example of an early Angelus chronograph fitted with its caliber 215. With a strong Geiger counter reaction confirming the originality of the luminous and a nicely preserved original black dial, its rarity further enhanced by the dial retailed by American watch importer Rensie and its unusual minute tracks on the sub-counters.

Provenance

Property of a Japanese collector
