Lot Essay

This endangered species strap is shown for display purposes only and is not for sale. The watch will be supplied with a calf leather strap.

In very well-preserved condition the present timepiece represents the rare opportunity of acquiring a prototype of the Perpetual Biretro model. Interestingly, the case back is engraved 'Prototype No.0'. Impressing with its large size, the present watch is a typical example of Franck Muller production, easily identified by the telltale large tonneau-shaped case design and the dial with large radial numerals.
