Notes
The presented watch is an excellent example, which is not only fitted with a vibrant emerald green enamel dial, but also featares numerals in Arabic indexes. Founded in 1868 by brothers Charles and Jean Stern, the dial is the most notable one created by Stern Frères. Stern Frères is best known for creating beautiful and intricate dials for watchmakers such as Patek Philippe, Rolex, Vacheron Constantin and Omega.
