Notes

The watch is accompanied by the original invoice from Gübelin in Lucerne, which states not only the original sales price (Sfr 5282), but also the purchase of the white gold bracelet. The watch has practically never been used, remaining in a vault for the past 40 years. The combination of its excellent condition, platinum case, unusually large case size and diamonds make it particularly rare and desirable.
