This INGENIEUR is
the first Ingenieur
with date that was
launched in 1958,
while the first versions
were non-date. Listed
in 1960 at CHF 1'090,
it was more than
twice the price of the
stainless steel version
that came in at CHF 460. With a clear
punchmark on the lug
as well as crisp numbers
between the lugs
(a characteristic of
the early Ingenieurs),
a rare example in
excellent original
condition.
