Notes

The present watch is fitted with a highly attractive tropical dial displaying rich bronze and brown tones developed over time. The luminous material has aged consistently throughout, preserving a harmonious overall appearance. The blue bezel insert creates a particularly striking contrast with the warm colouration of the case and dial. The case retains strong proportions and is furthermore accompanied by a yellow gold Rolex deployant clasp, enhancing both the originality and visual appeal of this example.
