Notes

Reference 1589 is a rare reference similar in size to reference 570. Launched in 1944 in two series, the current watch is part of the first series equipped with caliber 12-120. Rarely found in pink gold (according to our research only about 6 examples have appeared), this example is in excellent overall condition showing two crisp hallmarks to the case and a mint service dial that was exchanged at some point in its life.
