Notes

Coming from the first private owner, the present watch has never been at auction. All the pictures represent the best provenance for a vintage collectible timepiece. These images taken in 1975, 1983, 1988 and 1995 are an amazing proof that the current owner used the watch through the years. Considering the age and the daily use, the watch is in beautiful conditions.
