Notes

Property of the original German owner
Bought new by the current owner, during a vacation in Riyadh in 1977, he decided while at the Saddik & Mohamed Attar retailer to purchase a white 1680. Apart from a change of hands during a service, the watch has remained as complete as one could find, with its original outer box with the 1680 sticker on it, its warranty with the retailer’s sticker matching the original invoice, both hang tags and its leather wallet with its matching number and calendar card for 1977 and 1978.
