Notes

First example of a limited series of 25 pieces which will be made in a near future. Fabio de Sanctis was born in Rome in 1931. Architect in 1957, he very soon became very much involved with Art, more specifically the sculpture. He presents his work in several exhibitions worldwide from 1964 to 1990. To-day, he lives and works in Rome. Interessante e inusuale orologio rettangolare arcuato da polso per uomo, a forma di valigia in oro 18K. Primo esemplare di una serie limitata a 25 esmplari prossimamente realizzati.
