Notes
Produced only for a short time, the reference 1503 is an extremely rare model due to its large size for the time (35 mm) and also for the fact that is is cased in stainless steel, a rare choice in the 1940's when gold was the preferred material for most elegant wristwatches. Kept in the hands of the original Swiss family, this watch has never been offered at auction and is part of only approximately 12 examples known in this configuration.
Provenance
Property of the original Swiss family
