Notes
Kept in New old stock condition still with its protective caseback still in place, this reference has become sought-after due to its original and unusual single-button co-axial chronograph. Made by Landeron for a few different companies, the winding is done by pulling out the crown out, while all the chronograph functions are operated via the crow, namely turned downwards to start, upwards to stop and then upwards again to reset. Most of those examples are found in stainless steel, yellow gold versions are rare and almost never found in new condition.
