Lot Essay

The present watch is from the early series of reference 5512, featuring a black gloss dial and gilt printing, omitting the designation "Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified" of later versions. It is furthermore fitted with the pointed crown guards whereas subsequently produced ref. 5512 models show the rounded shoulders. For this reason, the present model is also known as the "Cornino", meaning "small horn" Submariner.
