Notes

While the transition to automatic Daytonas was already in motion, these represent almost the last of the manual wound Daytonas as this example was sold in Genova in July 1987.
Purchased new by the current consigner, it has been kept in excellent condition with crisp hallmarks, a mint dial and even the caseback sticker is still visible. The watch has remained dormant for quite a well in the safe as shown by the patina that has started to develop from not being used.

Provenance

Property of the original Italian family
