Notes

Launched in 1985 for the 225th anniversary of Beyer in Zurich in a limited edition of 25 pieces, the second series is recognisable by its double sunk subsidiary dials, day and in the early series such as this one with only a full solid caseback and hallmarks to the side of the case. Purchased new by the consignor and complete with all its documentation and retailed by Beyer, a rare version of the second series.
