Notes

Property of an Australian collector. Another great example of a still undervalued watch, these oyster perpetual are truly elegant and classical. While often seen with the regular silver dial, this particular example combines many of the rare features sought after by collectors: the honeycomb dial, the red “officially” printed on the dial, original lume to the indexes that have aged beautifully to a beige color (one missing) and a strong case showing little signs of polish.
