Notes

Ref. 4062 Produced in stainless steel, in stainless steel and gold and in 18K gold from 1942 to 1963. In the early 50s the lugs were larger, giving the watch a more robust appearance. This chronograph was met with great success and was produced for 21 years. This example has been kept in wonderful condition, with very clean and crisp numbers to the caseback. Prone to corrosion, dials on this reference are often redone or damaged but this beautiful and rare pink-coloured dial has been preserved in near perfect condition featuring larger counters unlike the examples that feature a tachometer scale. One of the best examples of reference 4062 in pink gold we have had the pleasure of offering.
