With the present watch we can see an example of an exceptional collectible timepiece. A beautiful, never polished and oxydized, rare watch with a tropical brown color changed dial and an arab date disc. The complete full set of original accessories with also the presentation letter makes it unique. We want to underline that the dial originally was blue, like the bezel, and due to many factors it turned to brown. Never been offered at auction before.
