Lot Essay

The present reference 1593, cased in platinum and fitted with the highly attractive baguette and round cut diamond-set dial, all confimed by the Extract from the Archives, is a most elegant and rare version of the model.

Large enough for modern tastes, the perfectly proportioned deeply curved flared case and curved crystal serve to enhance the subtle richness of the diamond dial.
