Notes

Dial, case, and movement signed. DIAM. 36 mm. THICKNESS 14 mm. Consigned by the owner that bought the watch at the ANTIQUORUM sale in 2004 (April 24th, Geneva lot 11), the watch has remained unworn since kept in a safe in excellent condition. REFERENCE 6034 in pink gold is extremely rare but combined with a mint pink dial with a crisp hallmark to the back of the case is sure to delight the most demanding collectors.
