Lot Essay

Among collectors, the present watch with ivory-coloured dial is without doubt the most sought-after version of all reference 16550 watches.

The present ivory/cream dial is special both because of its very warm and eye-pleasing tone and because of the way the "Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified" is displayed. Also known as 'rail dial' it is distinguished by the symmetric division of the two lines below the centre: "Superlative" and "Officially" to the left, clearly separated by a vertical space (thus "rail"), and "Chronometer" and "Certified" to the right.
