Notes

This watch is very rare in yellow gold. The limited number of caliber 1510 movements produced were used with several references, in steel and gold, with both leather and metal bracelets. Allgold examples, such as the present lot, are very rare. It is likely that the number engraved on the case back corresponds to this watch?s number within the series of 1000 examples produced. Cal. 1510 was launched in 1972. It is the chronometer version of the 1500 caliber, and was made in only 1000 examples.
