Lot Essay

The present watch is an outstanding example of a reference 5512 with Pointed Crown Guards (PCG). It is furthermore enhanced by the tropical dial. Tropical dials usually represent the most untouched and naturally aged examples of their type and secondly, a rare watch model with a tropical dial is likely to be the only one of its kind in the world, which elicits an almost primal emotional appeal, an evocation of history, heritage and exclusivity rolled into one.
