Notes

Unbelievably this is the fi rst reference 6634 ever to be offered by Antiquorum. It combines a multitude of factors that are sure to please demanding collectors: the honeycomb dial, the explorer style dial, the depth indication in red and the Golden Egg case that have remained in excellent original condition.
