Lot Essay

Distinguished by its exceptionally good condition, this Chronometro Gondolo appears almost as new. A more perfect and untouched example would be hard to find. To the best of our knowledge it has furthermore never been offered in public before.

For a note on Gondolo & Labouriau see lot 86.
