Notes

Produced from 1959 until 1977, the Turno-o-graph was unusual as it had a revolving bezel similar to Submariners. Scholars believe that only about 2000 examples were produced in 18k yellow gold and it is the first example we have offered that comes complete with its box and double punched papers.

Provenance

Property of a Spanish Gentleman
