Sixty years of racing pedigree rarely looks this composed at a dinner table. Boutique waitlists stretch past patience for this exact configuration, and the collectors who land one tend to smile like they got away with something.
Presents itself in mint condition with little to no signs of wear. Set against a bright black dial, slim steel rings trace each counter and flash silver as the gloss rolls from glass to midnight. Framed by a black monobloc Cerachrom bezel, platinum-deposited numerals skim the light along the moulded tachymetric scale while a polished steel rim guards the ceramic’s edge. Finished in broad satin brushing with mirror-polished centers, the Oystersteel three-piece links flow into a folding Oysterlock safety clasp with its 5mm Easylink comfort extension.
Functions include hours, minutes, small seconds, and chronograph. Fully screwed down, the Triplock crown and pushers seal the case to 100 meters, while position one winds the 72-hour power reserve clockwise and position two halts the small seconds for precise time setting. Unscrewed, the upper pusher starts and stops timing, while the lower pusher resets the central sweep hand, 30-minute register at 3 o’clock, and 12-hour register at 9 o’clock to zero. Driving it all is the in-house caliber 4131, certified to -2/+2 seconds per day after casing. Charged under light, 18K gold appliques glow with long-lasting blue Chromalight deep into the night.
Comes as a full set, boxed with warranty documentation.
