Notes
This watch is exceptionally rare in yellow gold. The limited number of caliber 1510 movements produced were used with
several references, in steel and gold, with both leather and metal bracelets. All-gold examples, such as the present lot,
are exceptionally rare. It is likely that the number engraved on the case back corresponds to this watch?s number within
the series of 1000 examples produced.
