This ivory/cream dial is special both because of its very warm and eye-pleasing tone and because of the way the "Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified" is displayed. Also known as "rail dial" it is distinguished by the symmetric division of the two lines below the centre: "Superlative" and "Officially" to the left, clearly separated by a vertical space (thus "rail"), and "Chronometer" and "Certified" to the right. Sold via Christie’s for £19200 plus fees in 2018 before the market boom. Advertised here for the same price the last owner paid, a future proof investment. Complete with original box and papers, very rare to find complete sets.
