Notes
Property of a Japanese collector.
Please note that upon ordering the extract from the archives, they confirmed that the case and movement numbers did not match. Consigned by a Japanese collector who purchased the watch 25 years ago, the case has been kept in excellent condition showing sharp angles and tight pin holes indicating very little polishing. The original dial with its unusual and rare combination of arabic and dot indexes has aged beautifully turning to a warm beige patina and the watch still has its original winding crown.
