Lot Essay

With Tudor Garantie dated 24/1/95 and stamped by Rome retailer Haussmann e C. s.r.l., document holder, product literature, Haussman collection card and Tudor presentation box.

The present example of reference 79180 is highlighted by a very rare “albino” dial: normally, the subsidiary dials on this model with white dial are black. In this instance, however, the white dial presents white counters: an extremely unusual, and of remarkable aesthetic impact. Interestingly, the original slip from Hausmann does mention this detail as it reads: “Tudor Crono Q Bianco”, which translates to Tudor Chrono white dial.
