Notes
Back in 1974, The Geneva team of water polo competed in the Swiss national league and became champions that year. In celebration of that victory a few watches were given to some of the members of the team (one other is known so far with serial numbers only 4 digits apart). A rare insight into the collaboration between Rolex/Tudor and local sport teams.
