Lot Essay

The present watch is a remarkable and aesthetically pleasing example of the Autavia GMT featuring a modified Valjoux 72 movement as well as charismatic red and blue bezel mirroring the famed “Pepsi” bezel found on the Rolex GMT-Master. The present watch is part of the second execution, a later version of the Autavia 2446 GMT featuring a red chronograph hand, fluted pushers and larger registers. It includes the rare original Gay Frères bracelet that enhances the aesthetic appeal and elegance of the watch.
