The tropical ageing gives this watch a completely unique identity, one that cannot be manufactured or reproduced. Add to that the outstanding mechanical performance and solid 18ct gold case, and this becomes a truly special collector’s piece. It wears beautifully, performs exceptionally, and stands out in any serious vintage collection.
