It's estimated that the reference 2811 was produced in only 500 exemplars with steel, yellow or pink gold cases. The watch proposed is in stunning condition with a rare salmon dial characterized by a natural patina. The steel case with olive-shaped pushers stands out for being a first series, cause the subsequent production differed in the adoption of rectangular pushers and more concave and close lugs.
