Notes

Produced in the 1950's, the reference 2496 is a very elegant square wristwatch. Found in a variety of yellow, white and pink gold, the platinum exists in either plain or with baguette indexes such as this one as the top of the range model.
What impresses the most is the state of conservation of this piece, it maintains crisp angles and has a mint platinum stamp on the case side indicating its excellent original condition.

Provenance

Property of a German Gentleman
