Lot Essay

Reference 168000 was available with two different dial versions, the printed luminous numerals without frame, such as the present watch, and the later style with the luminous material enclosed by white gold frames (see lot 268 in this auction).

The present watch is particularly appealing thanks to its charismatically discoloured luminous hour markers, now displaying a warm amber yellow tone.
