Specialist note

This remarkable timepiece is an example of the very first production of automatic Daytonas. These rare pieces can arguably be considered as game-changers in the market of the sports watch. Furthermore, the present watch is adorned by the attractive black dial, with the "floating" Cosmograph designation: that is, the gap between the fourth and fifth line is wider than the gaps between the other lines, as if the word Cosmograph was floating away from the rest.
