Summary

An early example featuring the “claw mark” dial, a design seen only on the earliest production of the reference prior to around 1964.

The gold dial is configured without lume, eliminating the radium plots typically found on examples of the period.

This example remains exceptionally well preserved, with a remarkably clean dial surface and strong original finish, free from the oxidation or surface bubbling often observed on early gilt dials.
