Lot Essay

The present watch is a fine example of the celebrated reference 2940, preserved in very good, original overall condition and fitted with a much sought-after pink "California" dial, featuring half Arabic and half Roman numerals.

It is interesting to note that the hands have left clear marks on the dial at 09.33h, showing that they have remained at this position for a long time.
