Lot Essay

This exceptional piece is a rare chronograph wristwatch with regulator dial: the time is secluded to the 12 o’ clock subsidiary dial, leaving the main dial absolutely undisturbed, for an optimal legibility of the chronographic time. The two-tone multi-scale layout of the dial and unusual hinged lugs with soldered bars add flair to the ensemble. Obviously a tool watch intended for professionals, its incredible aesthetic impact is matched by the honesty of its condition and the rarity of this dial layout.
