Notes

This watch is very rare and collectable, as very few examples were ever made with the winding-crowns situated at the top and bottom of the case. Literature: This piece is illustrated on the front cover of Orologi, Storia Costume Colleziouismo dell'Orologio do Polso, published in 1986 by Giorgio Mandadori & Associati, Milano.
