Reference 4072 was produced for approximately three decades, from 1938 until the late 1960s. Preceded by the caliber 295, some research suggests that only 214 yellow gold watches were fitted with the new caliber 492, like the one presented here. In addition to this, the watch is distinguished by a two-tone silver dial with dual measurement graduations, telemetric and tachymetric, as well as rare arrow indexes alternated with Roman numerals.
